I'm 35 and have been in the biz for 14 (?) years. I finally settled down and do it for fun now so I won't bloat my bio with too much crap. I play (play'd) multiple instruments in my day, mandolin, banjo, guitar, piano, bass pretty much any thing with strings... but after a accident and a botched surgery I've lost feeling in my right hand so most of what I do now is on the computer and writing for others. I don't read music but have a OK understanding of theory. Mostly I enjoy writing and singing now and love it when I find a great tune to write to.
