WHILE I WAIT FOR YOU

I’m a later in life hobbyist enjoying making some noise on the guitar!

I enjoy composing, arranging and recording music on an ever-expanding array of guitars, especially Fender electrics and Martin acoustics.  Every day brings new opportunities for continued growth as a musician.  I strive to learn something from every piece of music that I hear, and to make music that others will enjoy hearing.  I'm an amateur DIYer in terms of recording, doing everything in my home studio and learning as I go.  I record into a Zoom R16 and use Audacity as my DAW.  I use an array of Fender tube amps, all blackface/silverface reissues, and a modest pedal board.  I record acoustic instruments either directly on the instruments or else through a Fishman Loudbox Mini.

From the "folk group" The Sandy Hill Exchange in the late 60's to the current day, playing acoustic guitar has been one of the driving forces in Fred's life.

While there were times early on when family and work necessarily took a front seat, a guitar was never far away and at the ready when the time of day, or a day in the week seemed best for practice and composing.

Now retired and with family on their own, Fred's guitar work draws from nature, personal experiences and inspiration from other great musicians; his music emerging as original fingerstyle instrumental tunes. Described by some as "little poems" of song.... often with unique titles, which add to the musical prose of each piece. Feel free to click on the picture for each track and there may be more details on the origins of the song title, guitar used, tuning, etc. 

Casting a wide exposure through Soundcloud, Fred now has over 21 thousand "plays" on his site as folks from countries world wide are introduced to his music and guitar style. Music also on Spotify:
