Country music played on our family radio. As a youngster I strummed the guitar and sang along with the music. Being left handed I learned to play a right handed guitar upside down and backwards. About 35 years into my career I turned the strings around for a lefty. With a little determination and some encouragement from Tom Bresch, I learned to play guitar all over again.
My first paying gig was at a local honkytonk where I would occasionally play rhythm guitar for the band. The gig paid $5.00 a night and being underage, free Cokes. I moved to Madison, Wisconsin from New Jersey in 1965 where I have played many opening acts, nightclubs, festivals, company shows, benefits etc. and winning numerous awards throughout my career.

* Featured singer on a weekly radio show on WMAD AM
