I have been playing guitar since my teens (I am a young 65 now), however not for a living, and am now a retired business executive. At this point I enjoy writing, playing publicly, and recording via my Home Studio. I have written many songs, primarily ballads with meaningful prose. I enjoy playing for FUN as my music is not a necessary source of income, I have played at some local venues in Grand Junction, CO, including the Ale House, Doubletree Hotel, Le Rouge, Palisade Cafe, Palisade Brewing Company, and several institutional facilities. I do enjoy the extra income, however, and would like my music to someday become popular both from an income and accomplishment standpoint. In addition to guitar, I play keyboard, harmonica, some accordion, and currently learning mandolin, these other instruments utilized primarily to compliment my recordings. When I am performing solo, it is Vocal and Acoustic Guitar.
