I was born in Louisiana, been over 30 years in Texas, began playing guitar as a teen. I play guitar with friends, at small gigs and at bluegrass jams. I play acoustic blues, country blues, gospel, country, rock and bluegrass music. I bought a mandolin in 2014, got serious about playing mandolin mid-2015 and my interests are mostly in bluegrass, folk and old-world fiddle tunes.
