About Me

Howdy , My name is Spencer . I play music most of the time , and if I have it my way Ill be playing it for the rest of my life . I play guitar mainly , but have been known to hit a lick on banjo , piano , bass , mandolin , harmonica , dulcimer , drums , anything that i can get a sound out of .I believe that music can take hold of a person ,Ive been there enough to know . The stage for me is many things . Its my confessional , its my home away from home , its my center of gravity , and at times it can be my church . Play from the heart and you can say anything you want to .I love a good story . So much that Ill do things just so afterwards I can tell the story . Im in to campfire stories . Bigfoot , skunk ape , hidebehinds , treetoppers ,wookalars , skinwalkers , witches , ghosts , ufos ,you know all the jive .Travel is great too . Ill go anywhere I can .I love to talk , so just give me a holler if you can .
