Welcome! Click on any of the runes above to get started. I have preserved the old content from the Superlink website here. Any information about recordings, and a great deal of general background info can be found by following the links there. Plus, there are still a lot of beer recipes!
Basics Currently I am playing: Chromatic
Accordion (Bayan)
The accordions are a relatively new development for me, and I am working on getting a power trio together to play "post-modern accordion rock music". Until that time I am cutting my teeth with various support and recording gigs. The Warr Guitar is a special tapping instrument built by Mark Warr. I think he has built the best sounding tapping instruments ever! I am most famous (if you want to call it that) for my work as a 'tapper' through the 90's. The band Three Hour Detour is still together, though on a temporary hiatus. Please see the old website for more information on this. Finally, I play the mbira of Zimbabwe. It makes intricate and beautiful music, in a totally different context than any European music. This I do for myself (no public performances), but I feel that it has helped my musicianship on other instruments, and mbira music has subtly had an effect on some of my compositions.
