Banjo Tunes

Quince Dillon's High D Tune is the song I played at the 2002 Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Contest where I came in second place in the Advanced Old Time Banjo competition. This is my own version of the tune played on a fretless pre-war Gibson TB1.

Guitar Songs

I wrote this song back in the early 80's and recorded it with my great friend Marc Turner for a college project about 25 years later. I'm on all the guitars and lead vocal. Marc is playing bass, harp, and singing harmony.

This is my latest creation. It's about criminals with short attention spans. I'm on all guitars and lead vocal. My good friend and producer extraordinaire, Marc Turner, is on bass, harmony vocals, and piano.
