I started playing guitar in the early 60's and was influenced by a number of great guitarists. I was able to see them play in their own bands and with other famous artists. To mention a few... Jimi Hendrix, Harvey Mandel, Eric Clapton/Cream, Carlos Santana and the list goes on. In talking with Harvey Mandell a few times, I remember how giving of his time and how personable he was. I once jammed with Boz Scaggs as well.
I put together many bands in the 60's and 70's which were quite successful in producing a nice sound. To make a long story short, I became a part of, and eventually ended up overseeing a church band in the 80's. Since then, whatever church I've attended, I've always somehow been involved in the music aspect of it. I focus mainly on contemporary based, Christian music.
