About Me

I love my family very much and try to be the best father and husband that I can be. I am infatuated with music both as a performer and as a fan. I play the guitar and sing. I prefer the blues but have interest in many other musical styles. I am working on a project with my good friend, Buck who is a great guitar player and drummer. We really share a lot in common musically and are both working hard to get our music out there for folks to hear. I enjoy writing and recording music on my own at home as well. I am a beginner home studio guy but am trying to learn more as I go. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Blog

Getting the Big Head!
