About/Bio

I’ve been playing guitar for most of my life, but never wrote a song until I had a lot of time to kill during the Covid pandemic. I record with a simple home setup, featuring just me. I’ve written and recorded 40 so far (January 2022). I briefly played in an acoustic duo back in the early 80’s, which we recently revived and are now  playing mostly at area breweries. I have performed with a rock/blues cover band out of Little Falls called Big Sweet Life for the past 18 years. In the past few years we’ve specialized in multimedia theme shows of live music intertwined with photos, videos, interview clips and narration to tell the stories behind the music. Past themes have included songs of Lennon/McCartney, The British Invasion, B-Side Beauties (famous 45 RPM flip side songs) and Dylanography (all about Bob Dylan and his compositions made popular by other artists.)  I’m retired from a career as an educator and entrepreneur and live on a lake in Nisswa, MN.
