My Story, In Brief

<p>I've had a fascination with fingerstyle guitar ever since I was a kid. I credit (or blame) this on my parents having a Chet Atkins album, Simon and Garfunkel &nbsp;and my first and only guitar teacher.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wasn't an especially talented student but I was able to pick up some crucial concepts that help me to this day. The blues-based British invasion sounds and folk/blues revival of the 1960's, and the music heard in the Baptist church are prime influences.</p> <p>There have been a lot of late nights and early mornings in my musical development but thanks to a big stubborn streak and plenty of coffee I seem to be making progress.</p> <p>This CD is the next logical evolution in that progress.&nbsp;</p> <p>Along the way I've played guitar and bass in some bands, and played solo guitar gigs at weddings, restaurants, coffeehouses and bars.&nbsp;</p> <p>The combination of blues and blues based instrumental and vocal music on this CD is truly reflective of the music that's most special to me.</p>
