Studio Notes: My goal is to have the artist feel comfortable and help them make music that they feel good about.  I like to combine the old (tube) with the new (digital) and create a warm environment for making music.  I have successfully recorded and enjoy American Roots Music, Traditional Jazz, Blues, Gospel, Children's Listening and World Music Styles.  My own playing experience helps me relate to the musical vision that the artist brings into the studio
