HANDSOME AL'S INFO

About Me

I am 54 years old and have been playing guitar all my life. My dad started me playing when I was very young. I am currently playing in a blues band called The Heaters. we play a lot of our own material as well as The Thunderbirds, Charlie Musselwhite, James Cotton, Little Walter, and many more. I work with an excellent harp play named Greg Mitchell. I also play in a jazz group that I enjoy a great deal. I work with Dave Youngman and his wife Lola. I enjoy motorcycles and have been riding one since I was 17 years old. I currently own a 1988 FLSTC. I also have a 1965 GTO I have restored. It passes everything on the road except a gas station. Music is the center piece of my life. I listen to all kinds of music and appreciate all kinds of music. I lived in Texas for several years and worked with Smokin Joe Kubek, who is a good friend of mine, Bugs Henderson and many great players during my time there. Ed King and I played together back in the early seventies and Ed is still a good friend. I still miss Texas. I really enjoyed living and playing there a great deal. I LOVE Danny Gatton, and Robben Ford.
