Shreveport, Louisiana, to a family where his father was a radio announcer for
the show The Louisiana Hayride and his own jazz and R&B show Groovey
Boy the Boogie Master. He
learned to play the guitar while still young and began by performing with The
Legends and The Reknown in roadhouses. A while later he began songwriting when he was in the
group Baccus and eventually Nashville and other cities beckoned when he was
a member of The Outlaw Brothers, Little Richie Jarvis and Good Home Cooking
and Lusaza who became active in Austin, Texas. While in Texas Lusaza
disbanded and he joined up with Jimmy
Buffett to be the first and original member of the Coral

for many years before moving to New York where he had his own
blues band, Hell's Kitchen, been the lead guitarist for David Ippolito,
writes music for TV and film and still performs as a sessions guitarist. His many recordings include his own
