Some of my first true recording experiences were with George Graham at WVIA Studios in Pittston, PA. I am grateful for George's generosity. He is a true master of his craft, and I've learned a lot just watching him. I'm happy to have had the opportunity to work with him and look forward to future recordings. So far I've recorded four programs for Homegrown Music. The sessions continue my fascination with recording, and I always learn a lot.

My 1996 show was a collection of self-absorbed writing from my younger days. It was an "ambitious" recording to say the least, mostly because I brought a lot of instruments for overdubs. The 1997 show was enhanced by the addition of saxophone, percussion and guitar/vocal accompaniment from Lou Ontko, a friend I met playing in a heavy metal band. The 1997 show was good enough for public consumption and is sold through my website, and proved to be the groundwork for my debut CD, Mandala.

In 1998, I returned to the solo format with more self-absorbed oddities. This time I had fewer overdubs, but missed the group sound from the year prior. From 1999 - 2001, I took a break to record Mandala and Cadillacs & Tarantulas. Then in 2002 I returned with Dark Honey (a short lived project which didn't turn out to be a very good match), and then in 2004 returned with Moonlight Masala, an East/West fusion project.
