MY MUSICAL JOURNEY TO DATE

Normally at this time of year I would be deep into my summer season at The Chophouse at LaPrade's Marina and The Chophouse in Murphy, NC as well as special performances at Hilton Grand Vacation Club Ocean Oak on Hilton Head Island, SC.

These appearances form the fabric of my life. They are what I do. My first public appearance was as lead guitarist for The Broadways in England at age 12. Next I became the lead guitarist for The Bluebeats, and as teenagers we were recording in Decca studios in London.

My musical career continued in the United Kingdom as well as in the United States. I have been very fortunate to be able to live the life of music I love.

These last few months have created a huge disruption as I am sure it is the same with many of you. Postponing my appearances is not something I have ever done before. The immediate future is a big question mark. I am taking it day by day. In the meantime I am enjoying recording videos for everyone who wishes to watch and listen. I hope these videos I am posting on Facebook are bringing as much joy and happiness to those watching as I experience planning and performing them!
