"Playing certain music that I really enjoy and that the crowd also enjoys is the best thing about performing for an audience.

I first met the other Moondance Blues Band members playing at local jams, and they are all very talented."

"I've been playing the guitar for a year and a half. Watching guitar players on live concert videos got me interested in playing and taking guitar lessons. I practice about 2 hours each day.

My goals for my music are to be the best at what I do and to have fun doing it."

"My favorite styles of music are blues and classic rock.

Eric Clapton is the musician that I admire the most. I love his patient guitar style and rich sound."

"My 6 all-time favorite songs are: Have You Ever Loved a Woman-Eric Clapton, Layla-Eric Clapton, Texas Flood-Stevie Ray Vaughn, When You've Got a Good Friend-Robert Johnson, Someday After a While-Freddie King, and I'm Tore Down-Freddie King.

Each of these songs inspires my playing."
