About Me

There's always been a song playing in my head. Music, is a language, an energy you feel. You know it when you feel it. You have to trust it & go with it.
I grew up listening to my mom sing to CKGM AM and 50's and 60's records. So I started copying her. My cousin Bobby had a band that played up at his cottage on weekends. It was loud & they had these big old amplifiers. They were rock stars to me when I was little. When I was 12 he gave my first electric guitar and showed me some chords. My first lesson about song requests also came from him. When I asked him to play a CCR song he said, "We already played it" or "We'll do it in the next set", he blew me off, lol.
The best part of being a musician was getting to meet and play with some very cool people, learning from them, enjoying their music, and then making our own. I am grateful to Gerry's Kidds for having given me that opportunity.We all believe in the dream, the right to express ourselves. Play, play, play. Never stop. It doesn't hurt to have a screw loose either, that helps.
So, where do you want to put your colors?

Spoonful

At the time of the blues band, we figured we'll pick the best blues songs and do them the way we feel, try to take them a little further than where we found them. When we chose "Spoonful", I remember...
