About Me

In a few words, I'm a traveler, a musician and a cowboy at heart. Since childhood I've always had a fondness for American plains and valleys, country music and blues, I moved around quite a bit as lady luck does endow me with such experiences as going around the world and playing music all the time. Not here to brag about myself, I'm a simple man living in an ancient world of fires and wild horses, dreaming consistently about mountains, rivers, deep blue skies and willing to communicate with such other enthusiasts. I'm also a music teacher.
