It's About Time

"Alcohol"  Songwriter:  R. Arsenault

I play guitar and sing just about anywhere they'll have me.  I write some of my own material but also love to interpret other folks tunes.  I play with some very talented friends often.  I have a lot of guitars but my favorites are:  Martin D42, Husting Brothers (elec / acoustic), and Lang acoustic (P. Lang) cutaway.
