You say you are green on the mando, but it doesn't show!

Great tune, I loved the crescendo of the tremelo picking in the back here. I kinda wanted it to end there, it just built up so well!

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.
