Welcome

portrait I have the best of two worlds. Spring, summer, and fall, I play with The Cape Cod Slackers.
This great little three-piece band has a great following, and lots of good gigs! A large number of our fans are downright fanatical, in fact! Our busy season is the 12 weeks of summer. We gig in the spring, and fall, just not as often, so I get the opportunity to freelance with a lot of local
Cape Cod bands during this period -- I get to play with other old geezers like myself, and a lot of players half my age.

My wife Marguerite and I head for Fort Myers Florida in November every year, where I play with a lot of local musicians in Fort Myers Beach, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Naples, Sanibel, Captiva, yada, yada. Bill Zink (a.k.a. Smokin Bill), and Dave Richardson (a.k.a. Sundance Dave) who have both become my closest friends -- and are both wonderful guitar players with totally different styles -- work with me as much as possible.

gear For several years there was actually a band called The Sundance Experiment (named after Dave's 42-foot sailboat), that got together when I got to Fort Myers every year and broke up for rest of the year when I left. Go figure!! I still occasionally play with the acoustic version of this band -- now called 'Left of Center."

Bill Zink (whose very talented wife Tammy put this website together for me), and I try to work together as much as possible. Bill keeps a ridiculously busy schedule all year playing his solo act, so it's hard to slip in a lot of duo, or band gigs, but we try! Smokin' Bill and I finally got to put a great band together called "The Smokin' Section," with Doug Jefferson on drums and Bryan Savage on sax. We're looking forward to picking up where we left off next December!

I also do occasional gigs with my old and dear friend, Mike Oakland. We both do the seasonal migration thing between Cape Cod and Florida. We also seem to get busy separately -- both north and south -- and never seem to gig together quite enough.

Anyway, That's where you'll find me December through late April. But, the only thing that remains the same is change...So stay tuned!!!
