Why I'm Here

I’ve been playing guitar since I was 12. I learned on my Dad’s old 1963 Gibson LG-0. It was a sweet little guitar. In high school I started listening to and playing the blues. I played a 1982 Stratocaster, and I plugged into a Fender Super Reverb Amp. I was in a blues/rock band throughout college. I now play a Martin HD-35, and, in a word, it is a Blessing.
I’m married, and my wife Krittiya and I have a son, Seamus. I teach World Literature at The International
School Bangkok where I’ve worked for 15 years.

For me, playing the guitar is a kind of prayer.
