Howdy strangers...
Howdy all. Here I am in the 2nd day of the last 3 days' worth of gigs with the Claire Lynch Band, and I thought I'd take a moment and say hello to y'all. It's been quite a while....
Yep, you have probably heard that I am leaving the CLB and this is my last weekend tour with them. Joining her in my place is Matt Wingate, and I wish him well, as I do Jason Thomas and Mark Schatz. Claire has had many players in her bands over the years, and I have been working for…

A Bus Ride
A giant of an individual once shared a seat on the bus with me. We
sat
in silence and watched the road pass by. I had the aisle seat. I have
forgotten where I was going now yet I distinctly remember the smell of
the bus, the bag lady sitting next to us, and the colors of the city I
was in.
The person who was sitting next to me had brown eyes and
hair. They seemed to be of working class origins I noticed the roughness
of the hand that shook mine. It… Continue

Winter & Spring
I think you will hear me if you push the 'listen' part.
Lately I've found myself almost obsessed with Honey Bee's. I mean I wrote a song called The Honey Bee Way,I hear other songs about them, see them in stores, and hear other folks talking
about them. Bee's!!! I love them. I think what's really happening is that I'm getting over-anxious for Winter to finally finish and Spring to get going.
I live in Minnesota Winter is really Winter here it was a… Continue

My go-to guitar for just about everything else (and it flatpicks just fine, thank you) is my Huss & Dalton D-RH with a Red Spruce top.…"
