ABOUT
Hi folks . I am an experienced guitar player with 45 years of guitar playing under my belt . I presently do not have a lot of time on my hands , so am not looking for a steady band gig . What I enjoy is an occasional session gig here and there and maybe playing for the odd special event . I play electric lead , acoustic steel string , some nylon guitar , bass guitar and background harmonies .
