I've been a professional fiddle player for 33 years. I have played on thousands of recording, and just recently finished my first cd.

Missouri State Champion for three years, and 7th in the nation in the 'International Fiddlers Contest'.

I've played most shows in Branson Mo. and Nashville playing with the country singers. My first really good job was with Mary Lou Turner, and then George Jones for a couple of years. Waylon, Mel McDaniels, Johnny Paycheck, and Ray Stevens, just to name a few. Now I mostly work the recording studios and work a few shows a month. This project took over a year to complete, and I use Ferral Stole on Dobro, {possibly the best in the world}, Kent Coffe from Arkansas doing the flat picking, and World Renown Brad Edwards on the steel, and guitar. Shelley Smith on the upright bass, and Rick Hartgrove on Keys, and Kenny Lovelace on the drums! Some of the tunes are ole time fiddle, and some are electic. I wrote three of the songs that is on the cd. The Hoe-down From Hell, Cassidy Rose Waltz, and Bodines Waltz.
I also produce music of all types for www.audioloftstudios.com here in missouri, and co-own Nearly Famous Records, and Cedar Bluff Publishing Co.
This cd has something for everyone on it. Gospel, bluegrass, waltzes. I hope you will enjoy it!
