musician, auto repair and woodworking

I have played music for over 40 years and hope to continue to the end. 

Due to my abilities at troubleshooting, I have always done most of my automotive repairs on my own and with my love of woodworking, I make most of my own furniture. 

I have always been more comfortable knowing exactly how things have been made or repaired.
