Joe Morris

Acoustic Guitar for the hard-of hearing!

About Me

Joe Chris Morris (yours truly) picked up the guitar in his teens, but didn't fall in love with it until long after (late teens). Everythings an influence, but the early Peter Green period of Fleetwood Mac, the Christmas Records of the Beatles (particularly the Podgey the Bear & Jasper segment) are inspirational (the less said of Five Leaves Theft the better!)
