I play guitar and prefer classic country music and bluegrass.

My biggest influences are Lefty Frizzell, Hank Williams, George Jones, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Ernest Tubb. I am also heavily influenced by 50's & 60's rock and roll; Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and Johnny Rivers.

I own several guitars. 1997 Martin D-42 Custom, 1998 Martin D-28, 1999 Martin HD-28, 1979 Yamaha FG-350W, 1982 Yamaha FG-335II, 1984 Guild D-25, 1993 Epiphone PR-5E, 1993 Goya G-300 (First Guitar), 1978 Takemine F-340 "Martin Lawsuit Model", 1982 Sigma D-28. A couple electrics, which I hardly play, and an old Squire bass guitar in sunburst.

When I was younger, I used to play all over the central Texas area with friends and other musicians. However, a growing family life and an unforgiving career have really knocked me down to simply playing for my kids or family on special occasions.
