About Me

Lucky and blessed, my guitar straps are already worn by Jimmy LaFave, Terri Hendrix, "Ebo" Borash, Brandon Jenkins, Aaron Wynne, Vince Bell, Guy Forsyth, Jim Suhler, Andrew Hardin, Carlton Powell, John Inmon, Jack Casady, Jake Penrod, Gurf Morlix, Jorma Kaukonen, Jeff May, Sharon Moore, as well as Omar and the Howlers. My vision was a line of perfect workmanship, weight, and design. Although I've only been in "business" since December, bless these artists for their endorsements and the support for our "St. Jude's Celebrity Line". The "new-line" will be out soon, watch for updates! A Texas native, most know me for a number of years in the nightclub & music industry. Those in the area know me also as "Pecos Bill" on KNON 89.3, the true "voice of the people". Single and with the perfect son and daughter in my life. "If it's in your head, I can get it on your guitar!" I created my layout at KillerKiwi.net

Heroes:

Why is it that I try to talk to you, but no words come out,I try to speak in your presence, but I stutter.Nervously I wait for you to say somethingMake my day brighter lovefor the both of us.I can be yours if you agree to be mine.No words can express what I feel.My heart beats quickly when near you,I try to imagine your embrace when angry.Seeing your face makes me smile with bliss.I feel invisible when near you ,I dont have a chance,love isn't fair.When will you see it, that I look at you and only you.I try to contain my sanity, but the fuse is running out.Maybe it will be something that will go awayor it might make a home and stay...
