I was born in 1952 , and grew up with the sound of the Shadows on the record-player. And so it began...... In 1964 starting with my first band called Action Painting. 3 young musicians on one amplifier and one speakerbox . Since then I've never stopped playing guitar and singing.
Making music means life to me. With my own songs and tunes and the songs of many other musicians that has hit me.
Since dec. 2024 Some tunes are ( also) at “shorts” to view/ listen.
Have fun!😀
