I am a relic of the 60's. I began playing music back during the "folk" era. I was influenced by Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Mance Lipscombe, Jesse Fuller, etc. Later I became interested in Jazz music and Classical Music. I have performed both as a solo artist and a member of the folk-rock band The Bean Angels. I have taught private lessons in guitar and voice and have directed a children's choir. I have studied Music Education at Montana State University
