I have had the best fortune with my music and I am just lovin' it.
I live for that. Writin' and playin', and lovin'... and believe me, we do play!
In the last several years, I've had the chance to play and perform with some of the best musicians on the planet...
Taj Mahal (all over the planet),
players from Mali,
from Hawaii including Sonny Chillingworth,
in Florida
(Reuben "Lounge Lizard" Morgan),
Germany,
Brian Kramer in Sweden,
Ngariki in Australia,
Terrance Simien in the Carribean and Hawaii,
Ramblin' Jack,
and many many more people that I call friends.
Most recently I have been playing some of my best friends on Kauai - The guys in the Island Blues Band, and with the bluegrass band, The Happy Enchalata.
It's all led me to the place I am now - Music has really been the key for me, my key to the planet and in many ways, the key to happiness.
I'm based in Hawaii, and from here, when I can, I travel around getting together with brothers and sisters to make music. Australia, Europe, and around the USA. The guys I work with here in Hawaii are all great Blues, Jazz and Country players.
So whether you're a musician or a otherwise, plug in here and I will add you for sure.

Please accept this Coffee Break for your very own Willy's Sweet Shop. Please send a sweet back to me because I'm trying to find a Golden Ticket and the more I play, the more Chocolate Bars I earn. The more you play, the more money that is raised for St. Jude Children's Hospital, a great charity that supports the needs of children with cancer.
I hope you have a lovely day and perfect week ahead! By the way, I was watching a show about the benefits of exercising the brain and how important it is. People who do puzzles are less apt to acquire dementia in old age. So, get out those crosswords, sudoku's and get busy. Would hate to have you forget me...lol! I do sudoku's everyday so I will never forget those I love, and Michael, you are one of those people...
I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend. This week has been a constant "On The Go" experience for me. Working on a new CD and gigs, have kept me reeling for sure! Wishing all is well with you and yours. It's fantastic having you as a friend... I love you and † God † Bless you always...
