I like sounds and the people who make them! I like story-telling throughout human history, and most of all I love our natural world. I think of music as a way of describing things, living or non-living. I like to think about thinking.

I like 70's craftsmanship with some modern features. I like passive for some things, active for others. I usually go for dark, rich, oil or nitro finished wood grain and black hardware. The heavier the weight, the better for me. I prefer neck-thru or Set Neck construction.
