8/11/18 It's only taken me a whole bunch of years as a performer to realize that folks may have trouble pronouncing my name. It is one of those that if you hear it you will spell it wrong and if you see it you will say it wrong. All that said, it is my name so, here's an audio clip of how to pronounce it.

Here's the Latest
3/18/23
Been a while since my last update. There's been a lot going on around here.
I got to few open mics with good results despite some technical issues. Thank you B.C. Rich for the use of your guitar when mine went South.
Speaking of open mics, I don't think it is right to allow folks to sign up via phone. Folks who sign up via phone, deny slots to those who show up in person. In my experience, the folks who sign in by phone tend to show up just in time for their slot and leave right after taking their posse with them. This does little for the venue or the other performers.
New "unplugged" release come on Friday the 24th. "The Prayer, Unplugged" is one of my more recent tracks, calling attention to the spiritual benefit of getting out in Nature.
I hope this update finds you and yours well and happy.
