Guitar/Vocals

"I started taking guitar lessons after learning the melody to "Yellow Submarine" by ear at ten years old. Lessons were strictly Classical until I was 14. This was when I had enough money from my paper route (remember those?) to buy my first electric guitar.

My first gigging band was the Dorothy Wallace band, doing strictly originals. Right about this time I had an operation on my left ring finger that left me on the D.L. for guitar playing. This is when I slipped a slide over my bandaged finger and played along almost exclusively to the Allman Brothers' "Live at Fillmore East" album for about three weeks. I realized another dimension to guitar playing that I never knew existed.

From that time on it was pretty much cover bands in the Blues/Rock genre, playing off and on over the years with Jim Moran (who I grew up with), among many other awesome local players.

I joined Rockslide for the first time briefly in early '05 but had to leave due to scheduling conflicts. Presently looking forward to this second run with Mark, Rich and George with excitement.
