Anyone try any good Root Beer lately?

About Me

I love music...especially the singer/songwriters listed in my influences section. I also love rootbeer, all kinds of rootbeer. I have over 100 different bottles and cans that represent some 60-70 varieties of the fine elixir. I am a husband and a dad. Although I'm learning every day, I'm not the best at either one. It's amazing how a 4 year old and a 3 year old have this amazing ability to make me seem like a genius one minute and a fool the next. As for my music, I am still figuring out what the "Greg Sound" is and I am also looking to colaborate with others in this area, preferably something along the lines of old time, foot stomping, Americana, rootsy, folky, tear-jerking, sing along, fun music. If you sing or play guitar, mandolin, bass, drums, banjo (thanks John), harmonica, or accordian, let me know. I guess you could call it "Country, Folk, Mountain, Jug, Jam-Band" for lack of a better term. Let me know if you're interested in doing some jamming to some good old music.I have just recorded my first song, "Better Way." My uncle James Jones recorded it at his TrueBlueStudio. This was done along with my beautiful wife's beautiful original, "Follow Me," on which I played rhythm and lead acoustic guitar; and her cover of "Amazing Grace," on which I also played acoustic. Please remember that these are rough one take demos and the mastered copies will be posted when they are completed. I am continuing to write and hope to have a few more originals soon. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
