Guitar with Mel L.

I have been performing with guitar and bass, both professionally and 'semi-pro' for almost 50 years. I have amazed audiences across the nation from small intimate settings to festival crowds of 100,000 music lovers. By the time I graduated from High School I was voted best guitarist in the State of Colorado at the Akron Jazz Music Festival in 1974. I received the prestigious John Phillips Sousa Award in 1974 and was offered 2 full ride music scholarships, one to Phillips University in Oklahoma and the other to Marshall University in West Virginia. I have performed with such greats as Phyllis Diller, Don Ellis, Clark Terry, Homer Brown Jr., Blues Boy Willie and Michael Hedges to name a few, in venues such as The Pavillion at Six Flags over Mid America, The Boulder Blues Festival, Pearl Street Music Fest, and the Capital Hill People's Fair.
