About Me:
 
I started playing a plastic ukulele at the age of six. During my teens, I had the good fortune of meeting classical guitarist, composer, and recording artist, David Walbert, with whom I began the serious study of classical guitar. After years of teaching guitar myself and performing in various ensembles, a duo, and as a solo artist, I became frustrated with the music scene and left for many years to pursue other interests.

Years later, my passion was rekindled after watching a barefoot, steel-stringed, fingerstyle guitarist (Michael Chapdelaine) play to an enthralled group of admirers. Passion merged with conviction, as awaking in the night several months later, I became focused on the parable of the talents (Mt. 25:14-30) and emerged with an inescapable sense of having buried my musical abilities. I return now to write original compositions for steel-string fingerstyle acoustic guitar, duly chastened and with shoes on.

****************************** ***************
Every time I pick up my guitar I am reminded that as surely as there is a luthier who designed and built the instrument there is a designer and builder of the hands that are about to play it. -Derek

****************************** ***************
It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.(Psalm 92:1-3)
