I grew up in a slow, small town in southeastern Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia. I spent my childhood playing in the woods that dominated the landscape of my town in those days. As one of seven children, I was never short of things to do and I had some of the closest friends to get into trouble with as well. Over the years, the landscape and geography of that small town have changed and brought me to desire an outlet to speak my mind.
At the age of ten, I got my first harmonica, a Hohner Special 20 in the key of C, and it changed my world forever...
I love playing music. I have since I started about 15 years ago. Harmonica was where I started, and guitar followed soon after. Since then, I have lived to try to express myself in sound, to create an autobiographical account of the sum of my experiences in life. Every thought, every perspective, every sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Anything I can conjure or account for, I hope to write about. And I sincerely hope you will enjoy the experience the way I have.
