As a freelance guitarist I've been happy lately to be playing in some great bands such as Great American Taxi, Frank Wakefield, Lacy J Dalton, Harmony Grits and the Butchers. Sometimes I also lead my own musical fiascos. My latest excursion has been Jim Lewin's Mystical Acousticators featuring Chojo Jaques, Craig Owens, Karin Phoenix and Marty "the hammer" Carpenter.

Hey Jim, I listened to all your tunes! Sounding great as usual. I especially liked your version of Lime Rock. Looks like you'll be out my way at Del Fest... too bad I'll be pickin' elsewhere... I'm sure we'll link up somewhere. You gonna be at Fall Strawberry? ~Frank
That's great you are doing a lot of gigs. I miss playing with you. When you get back in town I would like to bring you up to Prairie Prince's studio for a great jam out. I have been telling Prairie about you, what a great guitar player you are. So, Rock Soon Bro..................KG:0)
How's one of my favorite guitarists to play with in the world doing? We will get together one day, hopefully soon, to hang, rock and catch up on life. Lets make this a great year for music one gig at a time. Talk Soon.....................KG:0)
