It’s June 15 2021….

California has officially re-opened and Dodger Stadium is packed to full capacity !! In the words of John Fogerty …..”put me in coach, I’m ready to play, today.”

My phone has started to ring again these past few weeks so I m playing a bit more and I’m feeling alot better about this summer. I don’t hink it’s just Baseball players who will stay busy. I’m swinging the bat for all my musician friends. Come on guys let’s suit up and play gigs again ! “put me in coach, I’m ready to play, today.”

Dear Friends, Fans, and Music Lovers

I ain’t got no crystal ball……just my faith.

Things seem to be moving along in our world again,and I’m so grateful . This past week I turned down 2 jobs because I was already booked and that’s a positive sign for me. Last month I performed at 10 different private events that came in very quickly. The wheels are a turning……Thank God !

In the meantime … There’s new songs to learn, new songs to write, new lessons to teach and new lessons to learn !

Saturday Nights 5:30-9:30 pm The Toasted Barrel 1300 El Sobrante Rd. Corona 92879 951-737-9463

And I my Zoom Guitar Lessons are pretty busy now. But there’s always room for one more..So grab your Guitar and let’s Go….

Stay healthy & blessed

Dear Friends, Fans, and Music Lovers
Happy Valentines Day !!

I rarely perform at weddings these days, but last year being as weird as it was I actually played for two. So for the Lovers this weekend…
Long time friend and former music partner Lewie Hughes was married and I played the ceremony, reception and was the Best Man,…a first for me ! It was totally fun with Lewie jumping in and singing and entertaining… Just like 40 years ago !!!

The second was a garden wedding for another couple that was introduced from another long time friend.With mask and social distancing in place, the Bride and Groom were at the alter and it was time to place rings on each other and then………they both sprayed sanitizer on each others hands…. before the rings !!

One more, from the late 90’s. I had been leading bands at the most beautiful locations in So Cal, the Ritz Carlton’s, Four Seasons, The Grant Hotel, The Bonaventure, Del Coronado, all world class locations. One day I got a call from a couple that asked if I could play acoustic guitar at the Gazebo by Las Brisas in Laguna. So there I was with only a dozen people in the Gazebo over looking the Pacific Ocean with one of the most amazing views and picture perfect weather. Simple, Sweet and Elegant. A beautiful simple wedding ……..and priceless.

Stay well & blessed

Happy New Year !!
I hope the holidays were as peaceful and enjoyable as possible at this time in our history. I’m praying with all of you, that things will calm down and move forward in the coming year. I’m looking forward to more teaching, more gigs and recording some new tunes !

This may be a start…
Well, hold on to your Stratocaster because my phone actually rang again ! I will be performing at a “food court” outdoors in a nice patio setting.

Friday. January 29. 7-9 pm
Haven City Market. 8443 Haven Ave Rancho Cucamonga 91730. 909-293-9408

It would be great to see you, but please call me or the venue before you make the drive. We all know how quickly things can change.

And…..I’m still teaching private guitar lessons on Zoom. I have students locally in my area and through a online school all across America and I have a students in Puerto Rico and in the Dominican Republic…Amazing !!

Dear Friends, Fans, and Music Lovers

What a year !!
There is nothing I can say that hasn’t been said a million times already,…. except…..
I’ve written and recorded a new tune that reflects this year and what we have all gone through. So, you know, it has to be a Country song . I’ve tried to keep it positive, light hearted and romantic This world never seems to get tired of finding love, and I’m a hopeless romantic.

Let’s Social Distance Together

Premiering December 8 2020 on Rosie’s Rhythm Room 8-10 pm on KXCI Tucson Arizona …..and I’m working on more airplay.

It will also drop on iTunes next week.

And… I am pressing 100 copies and will mail you a autographed copy along with the sheet music for $20 . Just send me an email. The perfect Christmas gift for the whole family !

Thanks again for all your love and support. Musicians around the world really need it more than ever along with so many, many others.
May your holidays be safe and healthy

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Dear Friends, Fans, and Music Lovers

I’m late this month !
I’ve been working on a new tune and it’s a bit different than anything else I’ve done in a long time. It’s a song about finding love….even in a pandemic. I should have it posted on Youtube and Facebook very soon, keep an eye out for it.

Thanksgiving is next week and I want you to know how very grateful I am for your support, my children, my health, and my faith.
May we all find peace this Thanksgiving.

Stay Blessed , Stay Well
