THIS WHOLE THING STARTED WHEN I FIRST MET AND GOT TO HANGOUT WITH ONE OF MY HONKYTONK HEROES. THE IMPRESSION LEFT ON ME WAS SO GREAT AND UNDENIABLY LASTING, I WANTED TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY, WRITE SONGS AND SING AND HOPEFULLY SHARE THAT SAME FEELING WITH YOU. I THINK THATS WHAT IS SO DIFFERENT ABOUT THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA MUSIC SCENE...MORE HEART AND SOUL. SO, I GOT THE BUG, BOUGHT A GUITAR AND SET OUT SPREAD THE DIRT. I LEARNED MY FIRST THREE CHORDS, WROTE A SONG AND PLAYED IT AT EVERY OPEN MIC I COULD FIND IN STILLWATER AND I'VE BEEN PLAYING SINCE. THERES MORE WEAR AND TEAR ON ME NOW THAN THEN BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. THE MUSIC I WRITE HAS ALOT TO DO WITH MY INFLUENCES, I REALLY LIKE THE OLDER COUNTRY MUSIC (WAYLON, WILLIE, GRAM AND BILLY JOE TO NAME A FEW) I'VE ALWAYS FELT I WAS BORN A COUPLE OF DECADES LATE. RIGHT NOW I'M TRYING TO HONE MY SONGWRITING AND FIND MY OWN VOICE IN THIS MADNESS. THE SONGS AND MUSIC I PLAY ARE DEFINITELY A REFLECTION OF MY OWN LIFE, THE GOODTIMES AND THE BAD, SOBER AND DRUNK, THE LOVE MADE AND THE LOVE LOST, ITS ALL APART MY LIFE AND YOURS, AND THATS WHAT I WANT TO BRING ACROSS IN THE MUSIC. I'M SO PROUD AND FORTUNATE TO BE APART OF THE STILLWATER MUSIC SCENE AND FAMILY AND WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR THE ONES WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR US. IT'S ONLY BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE I FIRST PICKED UP THE GUITAR, BUT IT FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOREVER.....AND GOD WILLING I WILL BE. I WAS ONCE ASKED WHAT WAS I MOST AFRAID OF IN THIS WORLD.....I ANSWERED, "I'M AFRAID I'LL LOSE MY MOM BEFORE I CAN MAKE ANYTHING OF MYSELF"......I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MOM. -GIB
