Artist History I have been playing music since I was six years of age I started out playing accordion. I then moved on to piano and then guitar. Later on I took an interest in drums. I studied music theory all through high school along with taking private guitar lessons. In my late teens I spent 2 years studying jazz music with a professor from Capital University in Columbus, OH. I played in several bands during my high school years. In 1978 I became a guitar instructor and music theory teacher. I also joined in with a rock group called Probe. We stayed rather busy playing the club circuit. I was even offered a recording contract back in 1980 by a well known manager in the rock-n-roll and disco industry. I did not persue this offer due to some spiritual convictions. My heart went to country and Christian music although I do still appreciate some old time rock-n-roll.

Group Members Currently, on all of the recordings you will hear me doing all the instrument tracks except for the steel guitar. I also have a very talented young lady singing back up vocals with me. With her being only 19 years of age, she's already completed a pop CD and decided to change her direction in music. She's strictly country and Christian country. She is also working with a record label in Nashville, TN learning the buisness.

Instruments Acoustic, Lead & Rhythm Guitars, Organ, Piano, Drums. Steel Guitar.
