Started playing in 1975 with a band called The Copas Brothers. We stayed together 11 years and then I struck out on 15 year mix of folk, country rock, cajun music and even children's music. Playing fiddle, guitar, mandolin singer songwriter made for quite an interesting run. Along the way I recorded many a song, made a few records, and CDs. But the road and time caught up with me. I then bought a coffeehouse, became a bean grinder, but all my tunes are still alive. If you find the time to give them a listen feel free, they're a big part of my life and each one is a special little jewel in the rough. There are also other singers performing some of my songs check them out. Visit my coffeehouse link, and if your ever in Covington La. drop by for some good brew and conversation maybe you could even play there. D Knicks
