About this user

I am a semi-retired, 64-year old ex-(bank teller, high school math teacher, geologist) that likes also to dabble in music. When I was a small child, I really wanted to play the guitar. There wasn't a guitar teacher in the little town where I lived, so my mother found an accordion teacher who couldn't play the guitar but, nevertheless, agreed to give me guitar lessons. In high school I got my first electric guitar and graduated to a rock and roll band. In college I taught myself to play classical guitar, a passion that has been with me for more than 30 years. Also in college at Indiana University I became part of the folk song revival of the 60's and played folk guitar and sang in the local coffeehouses. And more recently, while living in Tucson, Arizona and a member of Tucson Friends of Traditional Music, I played fiddle and guitar in a contra dance band. At my former home in Lafayette, Indiana I have played my PVC flute as a street musician for the downtown farmer's market, for church and memorial services, and for a local civic event, the opening of a new foot trail along the Wabash River. I was the pied piper that led the dignitaries along the new trail. I got to eat lunch in the sweltering heat with the mayor and state congresswoman. They gave me $20 and a free box lunch, so I guess that makes me a professional musician.

Throughout my life I have always been interested in making or repairing instruments. I have worked in a guitar building shop, repaired pianos for a piano store, and most recently repaired violins at the Folk Shop in Tucson, Arizona. I started making PVC flutes over ten years ago, and since that time through trial and error have developed a very nice group of Irish flutes. I have sold flutes to performing musicians all over the world. Currently my flutes are being used in musicals on Broadway in NYC and in Europe. My flutes are known for their excellent tone and quality workmanship and are continually mentioned as a "best buy" for beginners and for veteran musicians that want a durable flute for travel.
