About Me

I began my musical education at Atkinson Elementary School in Newnan, GA, part of the public school system in Georgia, where I played flute, xylophone, and wood blocks. Starting in the 5th grade, I began private piano lessons, which I took for 2 years, ending after my recital at which I played “Alley Cat”. At 14, I persuaded my parents to buy me a used Hofner electric bass and Silvertone amplifier, took 1 lesson, and formed a rock & roll band (The Zircons) with 4 classmates. With practice, and our parents’ indulgence, the band began to perform in Coweta, Carroll, and Lamar counties. The Zircons broke up after high school, I went to college, and drove my roommates to distraction playing acoustic guitar. Then, by serendipity, I fell in with a bunch of really good players in my local community of Dacula, GA and have enjoyed a resurgence in playing and performing folk, bluegrass, country, gospel, and originl music and has recorded a couple of CDs.
