The exploration and mastery of the guitar.

I've written over 500 songs and have had them recorded by many recording artists. Expect the best no fooling.

Having a successful career in the music business, I am fortunate to have performed, recorded and produced some of the world’s foremost artists, for example Zubin Mehta conducting at Lincoln Center NYC. I also had the singular distinction as a recording artist (Platinum Record Award) of being produced by George Harrison on the Beatle’s Apple label.
