Hello People,
Here is just a little info about my history I thought you might find
interesting.
I grew up in a large family of 5 brothers and 2 sisters.
My Mother played piano and my Father played harmonica along
with a little guitar.I remember going to my aunts house as a kid
and listening to my Mom and Aunt singing and playing guitar.
There were also mandolins and banjos at her house that my
cousin would pick at.My grandmother on my moms side was a
songwriter and had my Mother get Piano lessons at the early
age of 6 years old.My mother used to sing and play accordian
to us at bed time to help put us to sleep.So you see ,as I grew
music was always around my house.When I got a little older my
older brothers bought guitars and amps and drums.I wolud listen
to them playing and practicing.I only wished I had my own guitar.
Then ,One day,when I was 12 and a half years old I somehow
managed to trade somthing ,that I dont recall, for an old Decca Guitar.I fianally
had my very own guitar.It was an electric guitar ,and I had no amp!
My father had a TV repair shop at the time and I used to tinker
with electronic stuff all the time.So,,I figured out that If I wired
my guitar to my record player I would have an amp..That Was Over 37 Years ago!.. I havent been
able to stop since.Music has always been a huge part of my life...
I Have Played Out Doing..Drums..Guitar..Bass..Harmonica..and Vocals..For Events..Clubs..Venues..Bars.. Ect...for lots of years now in various locations... For Those who dont know me.
I Love Seeing People Have Fun!
Oh
A Note to My fellow musician Friends..
Its Tough Out There! I Just Wanted to Say This...In My experiences in over 37 Years Playing with Literally 100's and 100's of musicians..I've always been Dumbfounded by some of the few Backstabbing Cutthroat Jealous musicians who will Talk You Down and do things behind your back just because they think that it gets them somewhere somehow.......It is Really Sad...... Think If there Talking about everyone else..There probably talking about you!
And I'll Tell You about them doing it if your my friend!
I "Personally" Have Never Done This....I Respect Anybody For Trying and I've Always been Truthful To My Musician Friends....I'll Tell you straight up when someone badmouths you behind your back!......REMEMBER THAT!.....Some of you musicians Know what I mean by saying this.......You Should Stay Away From (FAKE)Players That Cut Other Fellow Players Down....and think there better.... ( And Just Remember)...These People may play OK, or Even Great ,but are Not Real Musicians.....They'll Stab you in the back at will!..... Dont say I didnt warn you!.. Carma will get um though in the end! Real Musicians Stick Together And Dont Cut Each Other Down!......Therefore I Say to These stupid non-musician People this.... You are just Wannabes!... Have "REAL" Pride! ..Heres the skoop!...People who really know ME..Know.."ME"....So I say to all you "good fellow musicians" just Move Right Past The Jealous Dumb Asses and think the way Im tellin you!....Keep Doing What You Love To Do!....Forget The Dumb ass talkers who will lie to try to make them selves look good,,or so they think....Because....They "Really" Look "BAD" in the long run and Dont Matter to anyone!...
Bottom Line!
I Can Say With Confidense I Know Where Ive been and Where Im goin with MY music!
Lord Willin
OK With That Said NEXT
My BAND..Right Now...We've all been friends for years and all played in various bands....I Hire Various Musicians from Time To Time Depending on Bookings...And I Get The Good Ones!
A Note,,
The I'm Still Standin Song Was Made in My Garage Studio on a litte 4 track recorder. I Played All the Instruments , Drums , Bass , Guitar , and Did the Vocals. It wasn't the band. It's a lil Rough but you get the Jest of What I'm About..:]
Wah-Nut is just me, my guitar doing sound on sound, my crybaby wah ,and my fxt 120 crate amp.The only effects come from the amp settings and wahwah...I Just Made It For Somthing To Do One Night...:]
Hey Brock ~ I been missing you too ~ Many, many times I thought of calling ... This week is a strange one here because of a town festival... But IF I can get out Wednesday night, I'll be coming to your gig. If there is a sliver of time for a short recording session, I HAVE A NEW ONE TO RECORD~ Take a look at my new photos... Anni is in love ~~~
