The one person in the whole wide world (besides God and my Dad) that got me to looking at music as a career was Dallas Cochran (he played with the Maryland Rangers in Baltimore, MD) who now lives in the Beckley area of West Virginia. He is Guitarist Extraordinaire and Pedal Steel player Supreme. He also plays Fiddle and Mandolin. He is as professional as they come. Thank you Dallas for your influence and support!
