about

Guitarist/multi-instrumentalist and composer, with unashamedly "prog" inclinations. Influences include Anthony Phillips, ... more Phil Keaggy, Mike Oldfield, Daniel Lanois, Bill Frisell, Ralph Towner, Gordon Giltrap, etc., but will listen to anyone who can play decent guitar. (And others, too, if they're really good. Of course.) less
