Music has been a passion for as long as I can remember and I feel blessed and fortunate to have some ability to express myself through the music I play. I’m primarily a fingerstyle player and enjoy arranging and playing a variety of old hymns to jazz standards to The Beatles. I own a couple of nice Taylor guitars (GAMC, NS62CE) and a Breedlove Alpine mandolin. In addition, I have a Baby Taylor guitar that is currently undergoing some “reconstructive surgery” wherein I’m trying to convert this small-body guitar into an octave mandolin. I’ll post some pictures and stories of “the learning curve” on that project soon. A favorite “therapy” hangout place is The Podium, in Minneapolis, where they have a great collection of world-class guitars and mandolins.
