Jungian psychoanalyst. Also, I geek out over guitars and recording stuff. Oh, and Rush (the band, not the fat-ass!).
I find I take immense pleasure in taking the elevator in my building with a stranger. When they ask what floor, I reply, “2nd floor. Psych ward,” and then make uncomfortably prolonged eye contact. It’s a great way to start the morning. #morningritual #elevatorrides

So, it is official. I am returning to Texas, having been magically transformed by the clean air of Colorado, some fairy dust, and a little tenacity into a Jungian analyst. I think this means I can talk about your mother and mean it! #JungianAnalyst

1995/6 Olson SJ. Englemann spruce top, Indian rosewood back/sides, Trinity K&K pickups (mic & transducers). Only gotten sweeter over the years. Jim Olson is a wonderfully gifted luthier and gentleman. #Olsonguitars #SJ #TrinityK&K

2017 PRS McCarty 594 with P90s. While I prefer a thinner neck, this neck is incredibly comfortable. Shorter scale length makes for a beautifully responsive. #PRSguitars #McCarty #McCarty594

Built by Mark Hatcher. If you’re looking for a custom acoustic, Mark makes incredibly fine guitars. He’s a prince of a guy, to boot! Western redwood top, English walnut back/sides, Macassar ebony fretboard. #hatcherguitars #acousticguitars #customguitars

Released in 1977. Still quite relevant.

One of the childrens: 2001 Gibson SG Supreme. Thin neck profile. This one can scream.

Okay, another set of pics of one of the “children” before calling it a night. Kiesel Solo with antiqued swamp ash body and maple cap, roasted flamed maple fretboard, walnut neck, and Allan Holdsworth pickups. Pups have a nice bite in the mids. #Kieselguitars #KieselSolo #Blueguitar

One of my children: 2018 Taylor 712 with cedar top, koa back and sides. Unlike some Taylors, the top end is bright without being strident. #Taylorguitars
