About Me

My Jazz Story

I was a classical guitarist, and found I really loved playing a piece after I could tear it up and not play it straight. Luckily at the time I was living close to NYC, and the opportunities to study with some greats was there. I studied with double grammy winner Harry Leahey, and then with Bob Devos. Among other greats, Harry had studied with Sal Salvadore, teacher to Joe Pass, and that is the direction I've taken, solo jazz guitar. Lucky me I don't live near NYC anymore, but in the Green Mountains of Vermont at Ewetopia Farm.
