Jesus, Santana, Leslie West, Mike Oldfield, Eric Gale, Duane Allman, Jonny Lang, Roy Buchanan, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Peter Green, David Gilmour, Elvin Bishop, Barry Bailey, Alvin Lee, Eric Clapton, Andreas Segovia, Eric Burden, BB King, Freddie King, Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, Greg Lake, Richie Blackmore, Robby Krieger, Joe Walsh, Lindsay Buckingham, and all the gifted musicians I have been blessed to play with (you know who you are)
I first picked up the guitar at the age of 16 and never turned back. It was apparent that God had given me a gift, and in recording these songs I hope to glorify Him. I was given a healthy respect for music by my parents, my father being formerly a professional bass player and my mother an extremely talented vocalist. My father introduced me to a wide range of musical styles, ranging from rock to jazz to classical, always impressing upon me the importance of emotional expression. I made these songs in the hope of sharing an emotional experience. Please play this music loud and close your eyes.
This music is for the Lord

Abel... thanks for finding me... and for adding me into your world! Brantford, eh? That's not far away from me... in fact you're close to where I record than I am... I go to Waterford! Also, I glanced through your "friends" list, and noticed that we have many of the same "friends".... you and I are going to get along really well! What was missing from your friend list is a friend of mine that's also from Brantford, and getting some good airplay on the local radio there... Andrea Gal! If you haven't already, look her up (on my top friends list).. she's an amazing singer!
Anyway, pleased to meet you, I'm sure we'll chat again...
