I was born in Woodland, California in 1951. Moved to Mexico when I was five and lived there for four years. I still love Mariachi bands. Came back to Ca. and my grandfather's ranch in the Valley of the Moon north of San Francisco. Moved to Tahiti for a couple of years. Sailed back to Ca. at sixteen with a Harmony Sovereign guitar, lovin' to play and sing. Been doing that ever since, though the Sovereign is long gone. I've got the blood of a great songwriter in me, one Stanley Davis Jones, my great-uncle. I hope someday to write a song to rival his best, "Ghost Riders in the Sky". A fella's gotta dream....
Playing music has sustained and inspired me through all kinds of trials and tribulations. I'll keep doing it until I shuffle off this mortal coil. I'm married, have four children, and now live in West Linn, OR. Onward!
