For the first 30 years of my pro music career, there were always other folks on stage with me when I played. And due to the camaraderie and inspiring interaction a band can offer, I never really had the desire to play solo. However, in the early 2000s I decided to give it a try with just me and a guitar...and over the next twelve or soyears I played hundreds of solo gigs throughout the Southeastern U.S. fromLittle Rock, Arkansas to Key West, Florida.
