About Me

I was born in Texas, and I grew-up after I left that place.I've owned a guitar from about the age of 9. At the age of 14 I wanted to be a ROCK STAR! WOW think of the possibilities! From that point I hooked up with several bands for aproximately 6 years. I still couldn't play guitar! My position as lead vocals caused a bit of a stir occasionally; I was a bit of a loud mouth, which (yeah you guessed it ), got me into a lot of trouble... I quit that gig!Years later... Revelation!!! Drop in testosterone level. AHHHHcoustic Guitar! Basically, self-taught. Been at it ever since. When all else fails, my babies are always there... They never, ever lie to me. They help me to feel alive. They are an extension of my essence, my mirror.My younger years are just a drunken blur, and do not define nor give any sort of justice to, or resemble anything to the man I've become.Presently... I'm trying to get back to "Getting out there". Looking for gigs. Any feedback, I'm available!1 CD entitled, "Meanings within meanings within meanings". 9 tracks, 5 with lyrics, 4 without. As soon as I can I would like to re-record this CD.(I am in need of Dead presidents) Any backers interested? Also I am sitting with somewhere between 10-14 pieces as of today, unrecorded . I'm interested in collaborating with like-minded musicians, songwriters, and vocalists.I embrace the Native Indiginous blood that is part of my multi-racial genetic make-up. I look it, I feel it, (and within the constraints of society, and It's impositions) I live it ( Very important aspect to recognise about me, If you'd like for me to be in your social circle). I maintain strong opinions on this subject. I am a pipe carrier and proud of it!If you have ANY questions, Please ask. If I can answer, I will. Know that I am a straight shooter... You have been warned!Oh yeah, by the way... there is a default on the musicians page where one cannot actually change their gender or Birthday, So... Of course I am a male and my BIRTHDAY IS ON MAY 25thBye for now, I'll see you later? Joseph Strider
