About Me

I was born in Boston, grew up in Idaho, began guitar and banjo in high school. I played at bases in Philippines during US naval service. I studied classical guitar while at Shimer College,before moving to New York City. I was lead guitar and lead vocals in several bands playing from LI to SC. I taught for many years at Lighthouse International (blind and visually impaired students), and Greenwich House Music School, both in Manhattan. My teaching experience includes single and group lessons, directing workshops and ensembles, coaching bands, and performance coaching. I instructed Tim Blake Nelson in bass and banjo for his role in the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" I played renaissance lute and guitar for early music concerts at the Metropolitan Museum as part of Lighthouse ensembles. I moved to Asheville in 2008, have played bass and guitar locally, rock, country and bluegrass/traditional. Since December 2008 have worked for the US Census Bureau in several different operations as a Crew Leader and trainer.

Private Education:

Largely an autodidact, studied and analyzed performers such as Julian Bream, Andres Segovia, Jerry Garcia, Eric Clapton, Albert King, Tony Rice-

Performing Experience:

Some solo work-usually acoustic guitar or lute(see bio)-have mostly been lead guitar/vocals in groups from duos/trios to sextets. With my own group Blueplanet (with visually impaired as well as sighted musicians) played unusual venues such as the US Open, Music at Shea Stadium, the New York Press Club. Have played NYC venues such as the Beacon Theater, the Lone Star Cafe, CBGB's, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Max's Kansas City (way back) Here in Asheville played a rodeo in Waynesville-a first!

Experience Teaching:

I ahve had many private students-my youngest around 7, my oldest over 80! I taught at Lighthouse International and Greenwich House Music School since the mid 80s. I am very good at tailoring my approach to the individual person and their needs-many of my students were adult professionals in business and law and had to achieve their goals in limited time. With young students, especially children, the main idea is to keep them interested and get them to concrete results as soon as possible, since for the beginner it is all difficult and frustrating.
