ABOUT

Hi, I picked up the guitar again about 4 years ago after a 30 year gap. Consider that I am now a decent Rhythm Player and lead is getting there.
I was a bass player many years ago in a band, all original material. But always played a 6 string on the side. We had some minor success and made it to 47 in the charts back in '81. I did a lot of the arrangements for the songs and still always strip a song to its components to see how it comes back together. So I hopefully know what is needed in a song, and all about keeping it tight.
Played a lot of gigs a long time ago.
