Welcome to my AUDIO RESUME.  These songs were all recorded over the last ten years. I recorded my first “45” back in 1965, so I’ve been at it for a while.  I also recorded commercials for about a year back in 1980 but the company folded,  so clubs and shows were it after that. My latest commercial endeavor was playing on 30 minute infomercial TV shows for Rocky’s Autos, modeled after the old Laugh In.  I am available for any type of gig you have in mind.

I’ll give you a short explanation of each song and what role I played on each. If you don’t like it, please move on to the next because I don’t believe that these songs follow a genre or pattern; they’re all very different. Thank you for listening.

STUDIO CUTS:  works in my home and other studios

»  Fair Warning:  (Becker) This was written by a very good friend of mine. It comes from his album “James Becker” I played slide and electric guitar on this one.  

»   Clyde's Song:  (cover)  I don't know where this one came from, but I would like to thank Paul Reed Smith for a wonderful sounding guitar! 

»  Wishing You Were Here:  (Becker) I played electric on this one and it displays some of my “trademark” type licks: the tick tock background and the volume pedal solo stuff.  

»  Seven Bridges Road:  (cover) I figured that I had better put something on here that lets you know that I can sing harmony and have since I started back in 1963. I sing lead vocals as well.

»  In It for the Love:  (cover) I did slide and two electric tracks on this one. Another low 5^th harmony.  

»  The Train:  (Adaptation Becker) I figured that I’d better put a little country flat pickin’ in this some where. An interesting Jim Becker cover/original song. I guess you’d call it an adaptation.  

»  The Woman In Me:  (cover) This one’s a cover tune that a band named Wild River did. I played acoustic and electric guitar on this. I’ve got a low 5^th harmony on this one.  

»  Silverton Train:  (cover) I got Lee Sims to come over to the house and sing on this retake of an old record the Platte River Band put out about 30 years ago. I played all instruments on this one.

Thanks for listening. If you need an all-around musician, full-time, on your staff please contact me.
