MAIN STREET OF MY HOME TOWN (VOLCANO CA)Well I was born and raised in the back woods country of a small town located in the Northern Sierra Mountains. Born into a lumberjack family I grew up strong and grew up tuff. My love for music came at quite a young age, If daddy wasn't rockin' us to sleep with the melody of an old Haggard song, then you could bet some country tune was blaring from the speakers of an old radio my mom kept in her kitchen! Music was a way of life in my country home and once that music got in my blood there was no turning back. Times were tuff and life wasn't always easy so you learned to appreciate the simple things of life, mine was music! At the tender age of 8 my daddy took me to the local honky-tonk, handed me a mic and threw me on the stage... I guess he never really thought I would take it this far. My Mom laughs and said, " From that point on the music took her over like a wildfire, and there was no turning her back" By the age of 10 I was tossing my old beat up guitar in the closet when my father walked threw the door and handed me my first Martin. That guitar holds a special place in my heart... I get kinda teary eyed thinking about it cause at the time things were tuff, daddy worked his skin to the bone leading the hard life of a lumberjack to keep his family afloat but when he handed me this guitar it was because he believed in me and believed in my music. That guitar has a home in my heart, It's seen alot of miles and heartache and it reminds me to never give up, that all it takes to make it to the top is believe in who you are! I've been told I take the road less traveled... And rest assure I won't settle for the stars cause it's the moon I am reaching for! I believe my music can be defined as true and honest ways of life, backed by enough heart and soul to bend the strings of any old heart! I won't stop till I reach the lights of the Opry!!!
