Bruce's Bio

My name is Bruce Wharton. I am on the backside of 40. I live in a town outside the city of Stuttgart, Germany. I am, at the moment happily married (this changes on a day to day basis). I have 4 girls, a grandaughter and grandson.

I really dig my family no matter how crazy it gets here. I play Harp and am pretty deep in the harp scene here in Germany. I am the inventor and maker of the Groove microphone which is a microphone specifically for harp. Nice microphone by the way. I enjoy building stuff. My first CBG build was a real success. After the first there was a second, third ... It is real addictive as these things are a blast to build and play. I am not a player but am learning real slow. I like to fish when I can which is about once a year when I get back to my folks in Minnesota.

If you are interested you can visit my site and bruzbluz.multiply.com. Word of warning, there is a nerd factor here. I do not care though as I have a lot of fun making vids and all sorts of things. I will try and move most of my CGB stuff over here for viewing. Until then take care and keep in touch.
