ABOUT

Open to Jam with folks and share songs
Guitar Player - Currently playing Rhythm Guitar with Blue Wagon, Open mikes and with friends.
Home studio and writing music.
Started playing when I was 10, MelBay - worked well enough for me. Played in the elementary school band (snare drum / melody bells). In my teens I moved onto contemporary music with new teachers and acquired my first electric guitar (japanese les paul copy). At University I joined my first band. Next stop, studied Jazz guitar at Vancouver Community College and upgraded to a proper guitar. Around that time I also started writing music and recording it on a 4 track tape deck. Since the nineties I have moved onto digital recording. In 2010 I joined the band that is now called Blue Wagon.
