About Me

A life time of guitar playing i started giging in 1976 with school friends and havent stopped yet 32 years gone by in an instance i have played with many wonderfull musicians and been in many good bands always working towards a never ending goal .I have always enjoyed the journey .Now we are recording an album of blues to carry on the journey and get a little closer to the heart and soul of what i feel is blues..

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/02/2007
Band Website: lemonrock.com/realdeal
Band Members: mark anthony plays all over the south west . he regularly gigs with the real deal with jim on drums dee on bass , and the mark anthony band is my son kyle on drums , tom on bass with a mixture of blues and originals .
Influences: I grew up with led zepplin free fleetwood mac jimi hendrix eric clapton which help me discover electric blues of muddy waters the three kings buddy guy clarence gatemouth. Later jeff healy srv and all the other contempory blues artist in the nineties walter trout changed my outlook and the noughties i seem to be looking farther back as i try to go forward to robert j robert junior Charlie patton fred mc dowell and others Lately john mayer and joe bonnamaso have been on the cd player
Sounds Like: Its always hard to explain music i always prefer people to use their own ears to decide what it is we do, but all my music hopefully has some heart from blues some energy from rock and some artistry from all the years i have been soaking up the music of my influences .
Record Label: chickenshed records
