Okay, just a short story then....From around the age of 12 I started playing guitar and drums; drums even earlier if you count pounding on everything in sight and playing imaginary drums like playing air-guitar. Then I had to choose one to go further and as I wasn't feeling like I could progress on drums but had a huge challenge playing guitar, I chose the guitar. I never had any real lessons, but learned from playing a lot with other musicians and picking up things from them. I have played in some cover-bands and filled spots where other guitarists could not perform due to whatever reason, I played in countless jam-sessions and started my own band around 2002. After some changes in the line-up it became 4 Leaf Clover, where our ideas became songs because we all were finally playing with some GOOD musicians!!! Hahaha, just kidding. It just seemed like everything was working out musically, at least for about a year and a half. After recording a demo-cd with 5 songs, writing about 13 songs, playing about 11 gigs, we sadly broke up in the end of 2005. After that I joined an acoustic group playing covers from Rolling Stones in a slightly different way; but that was put on hold. At the start of 2006 I recorded my own solo-cd. Later this year we'll see if I can put together another band...........you'll have to wait and find out!Stanley
