I am an artist and amateur musician, born in 1950, living in Oakland, CA, and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. I started playing guitar at about age 13, playing the folk and "protest" music of people like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, etc. For many years, I have played, for the most part, music of my own creation, inspired by the likes of John Fahey, Tommy Emmanuel, and especially, Leo Kottke.

A few years ago, when I began recording my music for friends, I invented, for reasons obscure even to me, a pseudonym for my musical self, a "nom de strings", as I like to say. "Slim Jimsøhn" is that fellow's name. He even has his own biography, and a home in Yreka, CA, in the shadow of Mt. Shasta.

You may be interested to read Thomas Brunkard's Soundcloud Reviews review of my work."While His Guitar Gently Weeps" (see the link, below).

Thank you for your interest in my music. I do hope you enjoy it!
