Woody uses Dean Markley SR2000 Will Lee Custom Guage Strings exclusively on all fretted basses and RotoSound Nickel Core Black Nylon Flatwounds on fretless.I was born in Stillwater,Okla. (ground zero to Red Dirt) and then quickly removed to the Louisiana & Mississppi Delta region to spend my youth and teens among levee's, cotton farms and southern FM soul radio. Returning to Oklahoma during high school, I eventually attended OSU where my induction into the Red Dirt Music clan began. ALthough I had an early music training through school, I wouldn't pursue contemporary music seriously until falling in these circles at OSU. It seemed returning to my origin of earthly entry gave me a musical purpose.....or at least one better than what MTV was beginning to create and sell.
From here my roots really started to dig in and take a firm anchoring in being a part of the local gang of songsters. They would forge and become the known faces among a style of music that was now being given it's own name...Red Dirt Music. Being in this list as a long time trusted backline player is an honor itself but I also managed to co-write several Red Dirt "standards" along the way and they continue to be re-recorded.
Currently I play with Dustin Pittsley, an Okie native guitarist with a natural talent for blues guitar. I also continue to side with local/regional writers and likewise write and record. Recently, I am spending more time towards doing more recording and production, both for others as well myself.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
