I have also studied under JOHN PETRUCCI of DREAM THEATER at the National Guitar Workshop in New Milford Connecticut. Life is too short to do something you hate. My life was changed when the LORD deliberately spoke to me at church camp and told me I was going to play music for HIS glory. I started practicing eight to ten hours a day in the summer and I would try to get in as many hours as I could after homework during school. I totally immersed myself in music. I have been playing for about nine years now. I believe with all of my heart that music is what the LORD has called me do and I am going to pursue it with all that is in me! I attended South Plains College (where the likes of JEDD HUGHES and LEE ANN WOMACK attended school) to get a better understanding of how the business of music works. I am starting a foundation called (MUSICIANS AGAINST CHILD ABUSE, WORLD HUNGER). I am going to have ranches all over the world where children can come to rehabilitate, ride horses, fish, learn music and learn about life and many other things that will help them live and love life to the fullest. Children are our future and should be our number one priority. I would love to live off 10% of my income and give 90% away to good causes. I also want my own studio where people can come and record a great record or demo without having to spend a great sum of money, be a great producer/engineer, be on the road doing what I love, lead people into the presence of the Almighty GOD, have a beautiful Family and be the best person I can be!GUITARS:ERNIE BALL MUSIC MAN AXIS SPORT (SIX STRING)

God bless(SAMBO (JUSTIFIDE) - BILLY IS AN AMAZING GUITARIST. GOD HAS BLESSED HIM SO MUCH, AND HE WORKS HARD TO PUT IT TO USE!Two friends were walking
through the desert.
During some point of the
journey they had an
argument, and one friend
slapped the other one
in the face.The one who got slapped
was hurt, but without
saying anything,
wrote in the sand:
TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.They kept on walking
until they found an oasis,
where they decided
to take a bath.
The one who had been
slapped got stuck in the
mire and started drowning,
but the friend saved him.After he recovered from
the near drowning,
he wrote on a stone:TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE.The friend who had slapped
and saved his best friend
asked him, "After I hurt you,
you wrote in the sand and now,
you write on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied
"When someone hurts us
we should write it down
in sand where winds of
forgiveness can erase it away.
But, when someone does
something good for us,
we must engrave it in stone
where no wind
can ever erase it."LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.They say it takes a
minute to find a special
person, an hour to
appreciate them, a day
to love them, but then
an entire life
to forget them.Do not value the THINGS
you have in your life. But value
WHO you have in your life!I PRAY THIS BLESSES SOMEONE! IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!
