Gene became interested in the guitar shortly after seeing "The Segovia Master Class" when it was shown on WUNC-TV in the late 60's. Seeing that the solo guitarist could play melodies and bass parts at the same time,left a lasting impression on Gene. R&B and Rock music became an important influence later on. Gene's brother,Jim,got him started playing electric guitar. This began a long,happy detour from classical music. Playing in a series of local bands culminated in Gene playing professionally for nearly 10 years. During this time,Gene began writing and performing original music and has since recorded 5 solo CD's of mostly original Jazz,Blues and Americana music.
