Welcome to my music page!
This is a quick "iPhone recorded" video of my playing and singing "Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones, on a cruise we took back in January 2020.
This is my rendition of Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel. Recorded & mixed by the talented Michael Reny
My own version of Driftaway by Dobie Gray (Mine is a little more like the Stones' version)

HUGE Thanks to my friend and associate Mike Walter of Baretrax Studios in Clinton. One of the most talented people I know. For a "blast from the past" here are some recordings from the time that I was lead guitar for Rick West & Cherokee.
