Been blowing (some say sucking at) the harp for 35+ years. I restore vintage radios from the 20's, 30's and 40's as a hobby so I have a thing for tubes. Nothing sounds like a valve. I have a few amps and mics as I like to experiment with different sounds. I love blowing slow blues and jam with my friend John who is a great blues guitarist. I build some pretty cool cigar box guitars, just for myself, not to sell. I dig that three string slide guitar sound. I play keyboard synthesizers and have a pretty nice little recording studio in my upstairs man cave / workroom / studio. My other love is British Motorcycles and I ride and abuse a Heated up Triumph Thruxton 901. In my spare time, I’m a Forensic Data Analyst and Production Manager for a Litigation Support Firm. (gotta do something to pay for all my habits) I’ve been married for 27 years and have three boys, 19, 22, and 26 yrs.
Oops, Forgot a couple things: My Favorite Harp is the Hohner Special 20. I have a full set plus the four Low Tuned. If I'm jamming alone, I like to play an A harp. I have a full set of Cham-Ber Huang’s Star Performers. They are pretty good harps after I tuned, fine tuned, and adjusted all 12 harps. Construction is good but Quality Control sucks.
