I've been extremely fortunate to have been able to perform with some of the great names in the music biz over the last 40 years. Not all are friends but some are.

Lee Roy Parnell, Delbert McClinton, Bonnie Bramlett, Bekka Bramlett, Tommy Castro, Teresa James, Jimmy Hall, Big Joe Maher, Miles Zuniga, Raul Malo, Tab Benoit, Cyril Neville, Malford Milligan, Jo El Sonnier, Greg Martin, Wayne Toups, Heather Waters and Clay McClinton are some of the performers who’ve been kind enough to take me under their wing and share a stage with me. Lee Roy paid me the highest compliment when he told me, “If I get sick, I’m calling you.”

I began playing guitar longer ago than I'm willing to admit. I draw inspiration from any guitarist who reaches me. I am usually drawn to guitarists who serve the song and are very strong rhythm players. I can appreciate a good solo as much as anyone but my idea of a good solo tends to be short and sweet, serves the song and is not overly flashy. I've never been someone who felt a great need to show off. I tend to say what I have to say, then shut up and let someone else take over.
