A professional musician since 1965, Chris became a session guitarist in 1972, recording with such notables as Van Morrison, The Pointer Sisters, Link Wray, Jerry Garcia, Stevie Wonder, and Jesse Colin Young. Chris also toured the world with Columbia Records artists Lamb, Van Morrison, Maria Muldaur, Boz Scaggs, and The Pointer Sisters all throughout the seventies and eighties. It was while touring and recording in Holland that Chris signed his solo recording deals, first with WEA Records and the rock duo "Bridge" in the early eighties, and then more recently with VIA Records. The instrumental CD "Guitars And Oranges" (on VIA Records) was released in 1993 and features Chris' guitar work and song writing. Chris' CD release of original blues and roots rock tunes entitled "Tough Love" was released in 1998. Chris' CD, "Seven Rivers" was released in 2000. Over the years Chris has recorded over twenty guitar instrumentals, which were released in 2001 as a CD called "The Goyer Golf Suite".

In 1997 Chris was diagnosed with melanoma. He continued to work at his projects, including updating his book Name Droppings, to reflect his confidence that he would beat the cancer. Three years later, he had a recurrence. He began more aggressive treatment, and seemed to be winning the battle. It was during his work on the sound track for The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill that his final recurrence was discovered. He continued to work as long as he could, knowing that this would be his last project. Given the theme of the movie, the fact that he could work on it throughout this time is a testament to his belief in the film, and to his bravery about what the future held for him. Chris died peacefully in March of 2003.
