About Me |
|
| I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
I am a session guitarist originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, now living in Los Angeles for the last 25 plus years. I've played on thousands of tracks for sound recordings (ya know, CD's), film, TV and radio. This is my perfect job as I play many instruments (6 and 12-string electric and acoustic guitars, nylon guitar, baritone guitar, hawaiian lap steel, mandolin, bajo sexto, high strung guitar, dobro, dulcimer, ukulele, bass and oud) and I can play many styles (rock, jazz, classical, blues, funk, R&B, bizarre, experimental, acid, punk, be-bop, gypsy, ad nauseum) and this does wonders at keeping my ADD at bay. You've heard of B.B. King, we'll I'm ADD King. Some of the artists I've performed or recorded with... 10db Aby Jana Alayra Jennifer Bynum Charo The Convertibles Daniel Amos Corey Fournier Tom Howard Kuk Harrell Cindy Herron-Bragg Leyla Hoyle Norman Hutchins Crystal Lewis Maranatha!
