My mother bought me my first tape recorder when I was nine. I bought a used Rhapsody 6-string in 1964 and began to play guitar.
I wrote some but mostly did folk tunes and other songs I liked. I also played a lot of acoustic guitar instrumentals.
Time happens but I'm still doing that today. I found the Baltimore Songwriters Association. I'm writing more now, working on my craft and have a 5-song EP called "Watermelon Time" for the effort.
I have a wonderful Fishman SoloAmp PA. I like playing small venues. I can play background instrumentals for omelette consumption, do the singer-songwriter thing or accompany someone else. I'm fairly handy on the djembe, but don't own one.
I'm mostly a baritone, so people say I remind them of Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen. Although I do have a higher range, when I'm playing and singing with others, I usually hang out in the basement under the tenors.
