- My Musical Biography
- After playing the guitar for over 40 years, I discovered the ukulele, and have not looked back. Although I enjoy nearly all styles of music, my true passion is creating chord melody arrangements and find the ukulele to be a perfect fit. Some of my ukulele idols include Herb Ohta-San, Benny Chong, and Lyle Ritz. However, my single greatest influence is the legendary guitar player and arranger, Howard Heitmeyer. I had the good fortune to begin studying with Howard in 1991 and is still working with him on ukulele arrangements today.

- Hi Craig,
I really enjoy your playing. Almost makes me want to put a low G on my tenor.
However, I come from a banjo background and love that high string on top.
Jim
