Over the years I've played in a number of different bands: Blues, Post-Punk Modern, Pop, Experimental/Found Sound, Tom Waits Tributary.
 
But now I'm doing shows with my old friend and former bandmate, Suzie Richmond.  We are calling ourselves The Derivatives (since we play a derivative of blues and old timey tunes) for now.
 
Suzie plays keyboards and I play guitar and harmonica.  I do most of the singing, but I try not to sing anymore than is absolutely necessary. 
















Here're some of the tunes we play:
 
Chicken Scratch (Orig. Instrmntl.)
Stylin' (Orig. Instrmntl.)
Diddy Wa Diddy (Trad.)
Summertime (Instrmntl)
Paradise (Orig.)
Time (Orig.)
Sweet Atlanta (Orig.)
Don't Make Noise (Orig.)
"C" Boogie (Orig.)
Blinded by Love (Orig.)
