Student history in Antwerp, Belgium, musiclover and guitarplayer, 20 years old.
PLAYING THE GUITAR! (alone and in bands), reading, writing about and listening to music, going to musicconcerts, collecting old records, fooling around... Started playing when I was a kid, put the guitar down a few years and picked it up again 4 years ago, when I became interested in blues (ironically enough I then remembered the first thing I had learned was a twelve-bar shuffle). After going through all the delta stuff, slide guitar etc... discovered rockabilly! (VERY oversimplified) Now I play in a rockabilly band called 'The Chicken Pickers', and plan on keeping ROMPIN' & STOMPIN' / BOPPIN' & HOPPIN' / BIPPIN' & FLIPPIN' / MOOVIN' & GROOVIN' / JUMPIN' & JIVIN' / RAKIN' & SCRAPIN' / JUMPIN' & JIVIN' / SHAKIN' & BREAKIN' / ROCKIN' & ROLLIN' & REELIN' WITH THE FEELING !!!
