Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor
I've enjoyed writing songs and playing electric guitar in rock bands. Albeit I have not been directly involved with the music biz for a few years, I do have some interest in the small goings on of Regina's local music scene. I have had a lot of fun hooking up with new artists on Myspace, sharing ideas, and songs, stories and future plans. I came into rock and roll bands at the age of 14 as a drummer. Switching to guitar a few years later. In those early days Regina was swarming with older talented artists and musicians. They served as my direct mentors and teachers. Record albums of my favorite musicians were my inspiration, but if it weren't for the local cats playing local gigs I doubt that the records themselves would have been enough for me to quickly learn the ins and outs of rock and roll. Local rock bands such as Trina, Elijah, Sunband, A Group Called Mudd, Painter, A Foot In Cold Water, Chilliwack, Eden, Charlet, Blackpool, The Flying Colours, Wascana, The Mad Men, and many others were for the most part equal to Led Zeppelin, and other international bands in terms of raw talent and delivery. I fell into that era along with dozens of other local upstarts. I managed to get in a few years with my band Linx before the first musical drought would hit Saskatchewan. There are always musical troopers who have followed along with their attempts to rebuild a rock and roll marketplace in the Province. I salute them all. I'll be posting new songs along the way so do stop back for them!! My profile may be put into sleep mode this month, as I like many of you have done, require time to re-group and re-energize. I've enjoyed all of the comments I've received thus far, and all of the musicians and fans I've met right here on Myspace!! You are all great people in my books!!!! Download my songs for free! Pass them around to others as you so feel.
