Music is music. Music is spiritual.Theory is mechanical. I was born with it as an anointing. My career started as a worship and praise musician at 5 years of age. I moved to Connecticut in 1967 and started as lead ???? player in a gospel group . From there i moved into roots raegge with a band of Rastas called Rythm Force for 5 years touring and gigging in all 5 New England states at colleges, clubs, parks, stadiums, private parties in Boston, New York, Rhode Island( Wellesley College beach) Hartford Connecticut, Maine. During my tenure with the gospel group we did venues such as the Fillmore east and west, did the Horace Bushnell Theater in Hartford and a 13 state tour from Newark, Patterson and Palisade park down to Meridian Miss.After our return home, i became involved with a local pop band and we did everything pop, r&b soul and a little latin. Came back South and joined a band called Southbound out of Shreveport as lead guitarist, and we were featured band for the 1997 Mardi Gras festival(Gemini Krewe) from Bossier to Shreveport.
I don't miss a day without my baby in my hands. Practice is the blood that gives life to the music. Word!
Am currently residing in Colfax but plan to return to the Alexandria/Pineville area as soon as i locate suitable housing.
