About Me

a while back...a long while back...a guitar appeared at the house. it wasn't much of a guitar, a sears silvertone. if there's a guitar, someone's gonna want to play it. and that someone was me. playing a guitar like that takes determination but i stuck with it.on one of the trips to the record store i bought a harmonica. getting home i fashioned a coathanger into a harp holder a la' bob dylan. so with a guitar and mouth harp, paper and pen i started my music career writing songs.i still keep at it and some day, i gonna make it big. thanks for visiting.jake ..This profile was edited with Edit Your MySpace
