I got my first guitar, a Stella Acoustic in 1966. It cost $12. After practicing night and day for about 14 months, I joined my first band and was soon playing in local bars and night clubs. Currently I am working with three bands; The Suspect Band, Blues Fuse and The Swervin' Curves. I have played all types of music with the exceptions of jazz and classical. I have been a full time travelling musician. I have lived in ATLANTA, GA, QUEENS-New York City, TALLAHASSEE, FL, HAGERSTOWN, MD, WINCHESTER, VA, FRONT ROYAL,VA. and am currently living on BLUE MOUNTAIN-LINDEN, VA.
