About me

I've been playing guitar for over 50 years. I got my first guitar on my 13th birthday - 1978 Fender Stratocaster.  I started playing in a band around that time as well and never looked back.  It wasn't long before I wanted to modify my guitar.  I was a broke teenager, so I had to learn how to do things for myself.  This meant a trip to Radio Shack (if you remember them) for a soldering iron. It wasn't long before I was making my own guitar cables.  That led to replacing pickups, pots, and adding switches to my guitar.  My Strat has had many identities over the years, as a result.  

I have played in many bands over the years all over the East coast from 1978 to present.  I have always played guitar, but was also a singer and keyboard player.  I've taken a couple breaks from gigging over the years, but never stopped playing guitar.  About 10 years ago, I decided to join another band and focus on my guitar playing.  I've been a weekend warrior around the Baltimore area ever since.
