I have been playing guitar for about 35 years, but in the last few years the mandolin has become a favorite instrument. I enjoy playing many styles of music, especially on acoustic instruments. This includes bluegrass, folk, blues, rockabilly, country, rock 'n roll, gospel, and original tunes that blend a lot of these different elements.

I would enjoy hearing from fellow acoustic musicians, especially from the Portland, OR metropolitan area. email me
