Willie Edward Smith

Bio:

St. Louis County, Born and Raised. Under the shadow of UMSL, and Lambert Field. Raised on Motown and KSHE 95 in the 80s. Had a toy guitar with buttons that looked just like a Guitar Hero controller back then, never got good with it. Didn't pick up another instrument besides a recorder or triangle for another 16 years or so and thus became a self taught musician. I play in a band, write for Playbackstl now and then, and occasionally go retro and record solo acoustic stuff for kicks. I'll make good recordings of these songs one of these days. These are all "live to tape" single track stereo recordings.
