About Me

Curtis Gunter:Curtis Gunter has passed on as of 2/2 His profile will be up for everyone to enjoy his music and just get to know him as I have gotten to know him. Curtis was born in Wellington, TX 1925. Curtis moved to Tucson when he was 5, he moved into Phoenix when he was 10. Back then Phoenix was just one major road, Curtis lived with Bob and Louis Barssell till he went off to serve our country. When Curits was 17 he joined the navy to fight in WWII.Curtis raised a wonderful family of 5 children and he also had a very loving wife, whom happened to put up with his "rough around the edges" ways. Curtis worked in cival service for the Air Force, he built his own houses. Curtis also shaved with a pocket knife.If I had to guess at when Curtis got serious about playing the guitar, it would have to be around 1952-53. Leon and Chet Atkins had the biggest influence on his playing style. He picked up the steel guitar in 1967. He also played with Bud Isaacs, Roy Collier, Jimmy Chappell, Rex Allen, Joe Qualls and Bob Chapman to name a few... Curtis taught just about everyone around him to play music.. so he wouldn't have to do it all himself.When it came to my grandaddy just about anything required hard work... Oh, and music. Curtis played folk, bluegrass, blues, old school rock and country. Grandpa had a few heroes himself, I am sure he is playing with quite a few of his heroes now... (John Wayne, Merle Haggard, Chet Atkins, and Coy Gunter.) Sincerely, Curtis Gunter's Grandkids Robert and Dawny
