A pic of me when I was a lot shorter...in 1972 !!!

-- Here's a VERY to-the-point blurb about me.......

I started playing guitar at age 11 ......and since leaving High School, have had the privelige of playing with some great artists and friends over the years.
Influences have been many : Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughan, James Burton, Jimmie Vaughan, Tommy & Phil Emmanuel, Steve Cropper, and Leo Kottke.
I am currently making a return to writing original tunes again -- and after playing everybody else's tunes all these years, it's about time ! 
I also have a successful and enjoyable guitar-tuition business -- teaching privately, and at 2 primary schools - Our Lady Queen Of Peace, and Dominican School.
