I so love the sound of a mandolin - hard to not be "sucked in" to my own private "La La Land" when I get to hear acoustic sets like this. All the way excellent, for me!

Great to hear the mandolin..... there must be a billion guitars in the world now, I ain't complaining either..... but it's great to hear more of uke, banjo and mandolin.  Cool track.

If You Dont Love Me

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to check out my profile and listen to some of my tunes. Music and guitar has been an integral part of my life for over 30 years now (wow, how time flies!). In that time I have made some records way back in the days of vinyl on some iconic American indi labels, was a part of the Los Angeles underground music scene of the early 80's and toured extensively all over the country a few times. I have played everything from punk, rock, to classical and praise and bluegrass. I think its amazing how interests and influences evolve over time. I've been playing bluegrass and folk for around two years now and really enjoy the challenge and musical rewards that it provides. I also just recently started playing the mandolin and am excited about a new dimension to my music and songwriting. Music is a part of me and I couldn't imagine a day going by without it. These are just a sampling of my songs, I have many more not posted here. Thanks again for your time, feel free to leave any comments and I hope that you enjoy my music.
