I play fingerstyle slide guitar, acoustic and electric. My first teachers were the great blues players of the Mississippi Delta and the Piedmont -- Muddy Waters, John Hurt, Gary Davis, Robert Johnson, Blind Blake -- and such classic country players as Sam MacGee, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Jerry Reed. Besides playing solo, I also perform as a duo with my mentor George Worthmore and with the Divebombers, a vintage rockabilly trio based in Sarasota, Florida.
