Some of the artists I've accompanied and/or recorded with are: Delbert McClinton, B.J. Thomas, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Walter Hyatt, Gary P. Nunn, Steve Wariner, Chris Young, Buddy Jewell, Ray Wiley Hubbard, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Jerry Capehart, Vassar Clements, Duane Eddy, Holly Dunn, David Ball and Joe "Guitar" Hughes. There are many more but I'm limited in space. I've always started my bios with the early years of my career and worked up to the present. I'd like to mention that at the present time I'm endorsed by Collings Guitars, Source Audio Effects, Fishman Transducers, Strymon Engineering, Eastwood Guitars, Creation Audio Labs, G7th Capos, Essential Sound Products and John Pearse Strings, amongst others. It took many years to acquire the skills (and good fortune!) that led to these endorsements, and I use this most excellent gear in studios and on stage, because it's the best that money can buy. My career in music was born, like so many other players and songwriters, when I first heard The Beatles on the radio, then saw them on TV. By the age of 12, I knew what I would be doing professionally for the rest of my life. I began on the drums at thirteen and added the guitar at 15. I left home shortly after turning 17 and within 2 weeks my parents had sold my drums. So it was the guitar that made the journey through adolescence with me, and any room I played in became my sanctum sanctorum. Thanks for reading,
