A little about the Wizard behind the curtain...
So here we go, I'm going to give a couple of info nuggets on who puts all this together... I've been playing guitar for 25ish years, started with a band in high school, went to college as a music major and studied classical and jazz guitar. Ended up transferring to another school and finished up with a degree in Audio Production. While at this school, I reconnected with two guys from the high school band that had started an acoustic rock group. THINK was the name, gotta toot
Plans for photos and first studio album in 10 years....
Hello there readers......and hopefully listeners and fans... The time has come to do a photo shoot to catch my good side, and by that I mean my guitar. That is my good side. So look forward to some posts on Facebook and additions to the website. I'm not much for this kind of thing, so most likely will involve plenty of live action shots, and when I hit the studio there will be many more. As for the aforementioned album, I have been sitting on this one for years because of mon
Let's get down to some music shall we....
Today readers, let's see if some of my favorite music is currently, will be in the future, or never at all will be in your music library.... I'm a big fan of many different types of music, as are many, but some of my favorite stuff is very guitar driven. I know, big surprise.

All part of the plan weekend...
Hello again readers. So what did you do for your weekend? Did you find a new hobby? Write a song? Sit by the water with toes in the sand? Hike in the mountains? Finish a good book? Start a meth lab? (let's hope not) Mildly productive.....excessively productive.....or not at all. Well, in my neck of the woods I covered a few things I like to do. Saw Spider-Man....loved it, watched WWE Great Balls of Fire ppv.....very entertained, worked on some new music....all in the works
Never give up on a riff...
Ever have one of those moments when an old idea decides to make a second coming appearance and finds a home? Got a good story about one of my favorite times this happened. So, Words of Deliverance (a tune with a video on YouTube), was sitting there with a big gap that I needed too remedy. Months went by and I had given up for a while on it, figured I'd wait to see what came around the mountain when it came. One night, Fish and I are at our dealer's place. Doug hooked us up
Let's kick this pig....
So, my happy listeners...or readers in this case. Tis the day after the Independence Day explosions and cookouts and watersports. Hope you had some fun. This is my first blog for my Eyeshot site so hopefully these will be informative, fun, and useful. I'm hoping that you have taken the time to hear the tunes, maybe even visited the YouTube site to see me at work.....more to follow in the near future..... I have plenty of plans for new music: recording, video, perhaps even som
