Very heavily padded and coatracked. Almost all of the sources are 1.) other Wikipedia articles, 2.) the home pages of the artists he's played for, 3.) don't mention him at all, 4.) only mention him in passing, or 5.) are dead links. Claims notability with touring with Charlie Daniels and playing with various artists, but no sources exist to verify any of his many coatrack-ish claims. Notability is not inherited; just because you played keyboard for someone notable doesn't make you notable in your own right if nobody paid attention to you.

 * Delete - His band 3 of a Kind did get some local coverage (see google news links in the article), but does not appear to have garnered much more attention than that. His name is relatively common so searching for sources was difficult.  I may have missed stuff filtering out results, so I'm open to changing my !vote if somebody can turn up significant coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 21:31, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete a little local coverage does not make his band notable and even less for individual members. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
