I was born and raised in NY.
In the second grade I took mandolin lessons for one year.
Starting in 5th grade I took accordian for three years.
In the 8th grade I started guitar lessons for 2 years and never looked back.
Also while in the 8th grade, I played in small dance band.
Circa 1958 I co-founded folk group with Bob Melissinos, Bob Conroy and Mike Herlihy
We were together for about 5 years.
Went on a musical hiatus until age 50.
I played off and on until 2012 when I moved to a houseboat in Ft. Myers, FL, a community with a strong americana music ethic
I am currently playing with the Pine Island Sound Quartet, the Long and the Short of it Trio, and some solo work.
