I've played since I was 6 and dad (old tyme, Canadian fiddler and instrument maker, Stubby Althouse) bought me a guitar. Played community dances, fairs, and the usual country events. Added bass guitar when I was 11 and about 2005 a mandolin. Trained as a electronics tech I have made a living specializing in industrial controls and engineering. I have had an interest and experimented in audio equipment since childhood. Sound reinforcement, amplifiers, microphones, speakers, sound recording, etc. Analog to digital and just about every generation in between. Presently I have a assortment of microphones, tYamaha Digital Audio Workstations, software , several acoustic guitars, a Telecaster, two basses, two mandolins, 15 to 20 violins, a Yamaha U3 piano, playback nearfeild monitors, a mastering system including Newform Research, Coaxial Linesource speakers. I enjoy several genres of music, but mostly acoustic in nature. I run a recording studio called Silk Purse Recording SPR , provide sound reinforcement ad hock, and record other musicians as requested.
