I have played Guitar with Helix, Powerline, Cold Front, Sammie Smith, and Saxophone with The Ft. Worth City Band, and the Dynamic Swing Machine.
The music here was recorded in my home studio using Sonar 7 and DFH for the drum sequences.

At the time of my graduation from Paschal High School in 1971, I participated in all aspects of the music program which included marching band, concert band, stage band, and music theory studies. As a high school student at R. L. Paschal High School in Ft. Worth, I was selected as a member of the All-Star Jazz Bands at competitions at Tarleton State University, Stephen F. Austin State University, the Brownwood Music Festival, and the Castleberry High School Music Festival.
After playing one year in college, I auditioned for and was accepted by the U.S. Air Force Band. I have played professionally for 30 years. I have also been certified to work with second language learners through Baylor University, and I have experience working with ESL musicians. In addition to my ESL students here in the United States, I have also taught at the Guangxi Music and Arts College in Guangxi Province, China. I have been teaching at the Dosher Music School since April of 2000. www.doshermusic.com

Thanks for the kind words about my music, Cat -- I enjoyed yours every bit as much. Great playing and great tone -- you're much more than just another cat with a guitar. Hopefully, we'll get the chance to play together someday.
