About Me

I guess I became interested in the guitar when I was about 13 years old. My cousins had a band and they always played at the family barbeques. They used to wear black pants and hawiian shirts, I thought that was the coolest. One day I visited my cousins house with my mom and dad. My cousins had there band equipment set up in the living room, I guess they had just finished practicing.Something about the guitar had me mesmerized. It seemed to have a glow around it. The next couple of days I was home playing the broomstick. One of my friends sold me his old guitar because his mom bought him a new one for $15 dollars, and that was the start of things to come. My neighbor across the street had a drum set, he would come over and we would jam in my mom's living room. I remember one of my first gigs was at church. It was some kind of talent show. At that time I had a 4 piece band. The most vivid thought about that gig was that my kness were shakin something terrible. I remember our first paying gig was in the school gym for some dance. The band received a check for $25. As the years passed I found myself playing around town with different bands. Did a couple of recording sessions here and there. Was so thrilled hearing songs I wrote being played on the radio. As the beat goes on I find myself on MySpace.
