I suppose I became serious about playing guitar in 1973. I had been without a
guitar for sometime when I bought a used Epiphone acoustic for $40. I had
previously known a hand full of chords but after learning almost the whole Neil
Young "Harvest" album I was inspired. I moved to Tulsa in the mid 70's from a
small south central Oklahoma town of Wewoka. I joined up with some local friends
and eventually played here and there around town. I think our favorite place to
play was the old Cedar Creek Saloon @11th and Lewis. In early 1978 I moved to
Norman and with several transplanted Wewokans we formed "Morning Thunder". We played around Norman and OKC mostly. In 1979 I returned to Tulsa and with a
little help from my friends formed the band "Empty Pockets". We had a pretty
good run for close to 2 years before disbanding. I've continued to write and in
the last few years have gotten over 300 songs copyrighted. At the present time I
am looking for a publisher and recording a few myself. That brings me to the
current STIR CD of which I am very pleased to be a part of. I hope people will
enjoy the CD and that this will be a success for the contributors and the river.
