I grew up in South Bend, IN and graduated from Heron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis in 1972. I've been a musician all my life. I played guitar in rock bands in high school and college and then took up pedal steel guitar and moved to Nashville and worked with a number of Grand Ol' Opry acts for over 20 years. I'm retired from the road now and play locally at clubs and studios around Nashville, TN while pursuing a second career as a web developer.
I've always been a writer, too. I've written articles for two Nashville newspapers, The Tennessean and The Banner, and for Country Music Magazine, Guitar Player Magazine, Music City News and a few other publications. I've had two short stories in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and I'm an active blogger. My writer site is www.calsharp.com
