ABOUT
Although I have lived in the UK for many years I am an American, born and raised in Montana USA. I am an experienced musician and can play a number of instruments passably but I now concentrate on the harmonica; playing blues, rock and and other styles. I also sing with a lowish voice. I am a bit on the old side but I have lots of energy and love playing with musicians of all ages. I'm presently in an Oxfordshire / Wiltshire band called The Wirebirds. Never the less I always like to keep in touch so give me a call. 07768 000013
