I first fell in love with the guitar at age 8. My Dad taught me how to play a single note version of "Bile Them Cabbage Down" on his old Harmony guitar. The action was so high you could slide a small paperback book under the strings.

Life took many turns and led in other directions, but finally, in 2008, I bought a brand new Martin OM-21s and started composing simple solo pieces in open tunings.
