LIVE MUSIC

I started playing guitar at twelve. Would have been sooner, but the idea of free violin lessons first in elementary school was too appealing to my parents. After a few years of orchestra, for my birthday, I finally owned a guitar. I loved it. I took lessons and played constantly - usually rocking out to my bedroom mirror. By fourteen I took to the stage...  I mean church alter. In the 70s, folk masses were all the rage, and I loved playing to a captive audience. It was the best of times. But, time marched forward. Earning university degrees throttled back my guitar time. Followed by an engineering career, plus marriage and young children - my guitar became an object of display in my home. Years passed, kids aged, and my guitar itch returned. So I dusted off my old steel string dreadnaught, and began to play. And sing. And... I haven't stopped. Now, I sing in a rock choir and I regularly solo gig at area PorchFests (grassroots community music festivals). I play upbeat, soulful, and fresh covers of classic rock, pop, and other favorites that we all cranked the volume to on our car radio, blasted out the stereo in our dorm rooms, and danced to at beach parties.

I play the songs people love, and forgot they love.

So that's it... that's all about me.

Acoustically,
