A little about me, ..... Some links, .......... And some special thanks to ......




For some reason you want to know more about me ...

Six years, plus two, later, now 49, guess that means I am getting old huh! ........ Not really that old tho' even though it feels that way. I have worn many hats in those 49 years, guitar builder, wood worker, leather worker, computer tech, landscape/gardener, teacher, auto body repair and engine builder, greens keeper, short-order cook etc. etc.
Without much formal education other than high school and my stint at Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery, I have managed to teach myself enough to do all these various skills and to do them all quite well ....... I enjoy, renaissance fairs, painting, gardening, spirituality, and working in my shop..... Well the world changes and fate slaps you in the face sometimes. I am now back in Ohio, having to leave the foothills just outside of Yosemite, CA behind. My wife of 9 years desided to leave when my back blew-out back in 2004. A simple divorce happened two years ago. My guitar building shop has been reworked into an eBay store called Greybeard's Guitars, and a small personal shop in the basement. There is not much of a garden now but a 1900's Victorian on the river. Still two wonderful dogs ....... and the kittys are still well ............. We'll see how it is all going when I hit the big 50!!! ........ now THAT is REALLY OLD ...... :)
