notes
Born in Buffalo, New York in 1955 and moved to Los Angeles in 1963. Started playing guitar at the age of 15 - all self taught. At the age of 19 I played in various bands and jammed with Grover Washington Junior. While travelling in Israel I broke my first bottle neck and learned to play slide guitar.
Upon return to the United States lived in Mendocino and played in various bands and moved back to Los Angeles and backed many musicians such as JJ Bad Boy Jones, Keb Mo, Peter Tork, and Chris Penn at Harvelles, The Gas Light and The Mint and other local Los Angeles clubs.
In 1990 decided to attend Musician's Institute of Technology where I graduated with Honors. My main teacher was Norman Brown.
In 1994, while playing on the Venice Boardwalk, I met film composer Michel Rubini and was hired to play acoustic and electric guitar for the soundtrack of the movie entitled "RIDE WITH THE WIND."
Currently playing at The Runaway Bay in Torrance, and California on Wednesday evenings through September and October will be appearing at The Sand Dollar in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 8th and 9th. 2006.
