Since I have been messing around on my dad's guitar, starting at about the age of four, I was in love with the guitar. The Beatles, Elvis, and Motown encouraged my love for music. During my years of trying to figure out how to actually play when I was younger, there was always people in my home town of Ironton, Oh. That was always there to show me some new tricks. I used to get one of my neghbors to to tune my guitar for me. When he wasn't available I went to Dick's Record Shop in Ironton, to put new stings on my guitar and tune it for me. He finally got tired of it, I am sure, and one day made me do it myself. He said if you can't tune it, you can't play it. Very true though. After college I saw an add in the paper looking for a guitarist. I answered and it was a dude, (Chuck Oney), I have seen play live a couple times and I really wanted to be in the band. It was a new band he was forming. He had already been out on the road and I guess wanted to pursue a musical career in music he wanted to play. Even though I seemed kinda nerdy, and honestly I didn't think I was all that good at the time, he gave me a shot at being in the band. WOW!!! my first real band! The band was and is ONEY. I grew alot from that experience. I met so many great musicians and friends I can't count. Later, as time went by, we all had different directions and that is natural. But the good thing is, there will be some sort of reunion soon, so all you Oney fans thanks for still being there to help make it a possibility!!!
Not long after that A former guitar student, (Greg Gilbert), and his band asked me to sing for his new band. I am so glad I did. We wrote some good songs together. That band was called Santa Claws "N" Sculls. Some of you don't even want to know where that name came from, But those that do, the bears are still dancing!!!
After that experience, a band called Rezin looks me up and wanted me to be thier guitarist. I had already become friends with most of them so I said sure! Man, did we create such a stir of controversy!!! It was great! We held our own Rezin Fest, campaigned for Gatewood, and did some recordings I will always be proud of.
Then came Sandlewood, or Mezcalwood, whatever people called us was a short attempt but alot of great music came from that group.
Altimately, I ran into a brother that I had never met. Long story but true. We started writting and performing anywhere anyone would let us. Alot of expirience came out of that for sure!!!!
I am constantly changing songs on my page, One, to keep it fresh, and Two, to show all my friends my musical history that I am forever proud of, And Three, To have a chance to play some new songs that are in the works constantly. If you are interested in hearing more songs from me then go to http://www.xampy.com/Mezcal. These are all demos that I have been working on but I am giving them an early release just to see if I get any kind of responce at all. It would be great to hear any feed back. Hey, I already know that the production is lacking in some areas because I only use a 4-track to record my demos. Overlook that and let me know what you think. I am counting on your opinion.
After having my old My Space page hacked and deleted it was dissapointing, because I lost alot of friends that I could never find them all,(Hopefully they will try to find me as well.), I almost did'nt have the heart to do this all over again. But I am glad I did. I hope my new page turns out as cool as my last one...And it is already turning out to be pretty alright.TAURUS- The Aggressive One
