About Me
I,Deborah Hoskins born and raised on the banks of the Mississippi River.I've always had a passion for music.When I was very young,Dad played the guitar and harmonica and I sang 'You are my sunshine',some times at the local bar...Mom,Bless her soul,was deaf.She never heard me sing and play,but would put her hand on my guitar and feel the vibs and smile as she would read the song from my lips.Then came the early 70's,Hitched a ride with my guitar and headed for New Orleans.Played in Jackson Square and a club on Bourbon Street for five week.Major recording company wanted my talent but I was just to scared to go for it,being 19years old at the time,and alone,because they didnt want the band,just me.I told myself to head back home or I could end up like Janis....Yep..I have often wondered..What if.. Mid 70's I cut a 45 record in a local studio.Keeping band members was impossible so I put my music on the back burner.Came back out in the early90's and wrote two songs for a contest.Won the trip to Nashville to perform at the Jim Ed Brown theatere and Gilly's.Writting and playing Country is great,but my soul is with the blues.More time went by,age creeping up,and health issues.Doctors inform me,I would not live to be old...Oh,no..I have to get my music recorded so I can leave it to my kids and their kids..Asking the big man upstairs to help me get it done.Thats when I met BillyJoe Thacker from the hills of West Virginia.We got together one Sat.afternoon three years ago.No dought about it,we couldnt get enough.Like Robert Cray said,"We just want to play period".Joe and Others have convinced me,It's not my time to go,but it is my time to play.Kids are grown and I am just full of myself after all these years.The music we create is all played by the two of us, except the drums.I play the keyboard,harmonica,guitar and bass.Joe plays rhythm,lead &bass.We each have a studio now and getting more work done.Hope everyone enjoys our music.We would like to invite you to our music site..Myspace.com/StonehengeRockSolidOfficial..New Music has been posted...Thank you all for stopping in.Blessings to each and every one of you,Doc & Joe .......I'm still alive,and blessed,I do beleave.
