About Me

Since I'm into about every type of music known to mankind I do believe that music is everything. When you're sad it can either make you cry or bring you into a better mood. If you're happy it can take you higher. It can be inspirational I'm into my 4th year of guitar as we speak and just keep learning more stuff thanks in part to my teacher who's pretty insightful. It tells stories, describes nature to it's fullest and talks of loves lost and found. It can describe the relationship between a man and a woman; a man and an animal (dog, cat etc) ; a woman and an animal (dog, horse etc) and the challenges of everyone. It can be political or apolitical, funny and/or sad. It can be used to vent anger or angst or to support a cause (anti war and the like). Oh yea and I forgot it can be about buses, planes and trains as well.

My Interests

Taking hikes in the woods with my pup Kelly, camping, photography & sports. Above all music it just seems so right and gets you through about everything.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet people that love music,photography and sports especially football. Because I have some fun things to talk about in these areas as well. Or even a photo-music tie-in. If you've ever play an instrument and get fun out of it drop me a line or make me your friend. I pretty much know music inside and out (almost like a jukebox) and I know photography as well. And because I was born on the same date (not year) as Jimi Hendrix I'm very interested in him as well he was such a great musician! But there are many more just as great Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Page,Danny Gattan, Alvin Lee etc.

Bob Dylan,Joni Mitchell,Townes Van Zandt,Neil Young, Crosby, Stills & Nash,Dixie Chicks,Hank Williams Jr,Johnny Cash,Steve Earle,Lucinda Williams,Beatles,Rolling Stones, Hendrix, Kinks, Little Feat, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Many more here - Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Puddle of Mudd,Godsmack, Creed, Metallica, Alice Cooper, Sabbath

Life In General!

Been wanting to do this for a while, but time was of the essence. So anyway, I've started in a new direction. Got a new guitar teacher, sold the guitar I wanted to sell and replaced it with a new one....
