About Me

1977 Freddie Cesineros slaps guitar out of young boys hands and says ,you got to start all over man. Following years meets Robert Ealey ,U.P. Wilson,Doyle 1, Sumter, Colegrove and Yanaway and everyone else that was diggin' the scene. After that Austin. Watch and learn time. Atones' was on Guadalupe st. and every Blues giant that was still hittin' it was there. Muddy, both Alberts' . Buddy, Pinetop I can't even begin to tell you who was there or just sittin' in . Then band time for jime, Housewives'Choice . We went from Ska to Blues in about a three year peroid. Then Marcia Ball for another three years and the world was laid open . A beautiful thing ! Thanks Marcia. Then Hoo Doo Cats for a year . Then on my own, next a stint with Johnny Mack............. Currently doing my own Thang and diggin' it. So you see the story is never completely told , we just got to keep on keepin' on. Jime
