When I was in first grade, our elementary school had a talent contest, which my sister, my sister's best friend and I entered. We dressed up as The Beatles (I played the part of Paul McCartney), made cardboard guitars and lip-synced to "I Want To Hold Your Hand", with a record player backstage. Though we didn't win the talent show, I gained something that has been far more rewarding, a love of entertaining a crowd, that has lasted me a lifetime.Fast forward 8 years and I was at a friend's house. He pulled out a old beat up acoustic guitar and started playing a few chords, and I immediately wanted to learn how to play guitar. Approximately 1 year later I was the proud owner of a second hand, left handed Bass guitar which I poured myself into. Unfortunately I didn't have the money to buy a bass amp, so I soon found myself trading in that old bass in for a left handed
acoustic guitar. Once again my fortunes took a turn for the worse. About 3 months after I started playing guitar I had a rather severe accident with my right hand that required several stitches and a cast. Unfortunately I could no
longer play the guitar left handed because I couldn't form chords with my right hand. I could however, STRUM with my right hand and form the chords with my left hand. Undaunted, I restrung the guitar, flipped it over and retaught myself how to play guitar righthanded. I didn't care what it took I was determined to be a musician.Fast forward another few years and I was doing what I enjoy more than anything. Entertaining people! Anyway, after 25 years of playing mostly cover tune's, I decided that It was time that I start recording some of the originals that I had been writing over the years. I want everyone who visit's my profile to know that even though you may not have heard any of my songs before, and though they are not number 1 hits, I have written, performed and recorded
each and every one with passion and feeling, and that I REALLY APPRECIATE each and every one of my friends that have taken the time to listen to them. I also want to say that I am HUMBLED by those that have enjoyed my songs enough to want to add them to their profiles. It has been HUGE HONOR for me.
