I didnt..its my name... My parents gave it to me.. when I was born!

I think its great, it gives people a chance to hear music & get their music heard when otherwise there may have been nothing other than a nearly impossible avenue.

I would consider it.. But I would stick to what Im doing if it meant I had to change me.

My "band" history & its beginnings are very clear, started when I was about 6yrs old in the mountains of western virginia. I heard Chuck Berry play Johnny B. Goode on TV.. something snapped in me & I said to myself..thats all I want, I want to be good enough to play Johnny B. Goode in front of a crowd. A few years later my dad got me my 1st guitar then it all started. I learned & played rock through middle school & high school but I always loved country. By my senior year I was playing live on the weekends at the "Pickin Barn" in Ringgold,GA & various other area dance-halls. In 1998 I opened my own country club in Cleveland,Tn called "The Plowboy Mansion"..my band performed there for 3 straight years & averaged 450-500 per night on weekends. Since closing I have continued playing around town & occasionally in Nashville (thanks to friends like Damon Gray, Bart Hanson, Jackie Harris)..

Merle Haggard, Elvis, Hank Jr, Yoakam, George Jones, old Steve Wariner stuff, Razzy Bailey, various 70's to early 90's Rock bands.. Stevie Ray Vaughn, Delbert McClinton

I'd have to say, my hometown, Ooltewah,TN.. Nashville at Broadway, & the stockyards at Fort Worth,TX

My main rig are various hopped up Fender Tele's.. 100 watt combo amps & Roland GP-8 processors (great compression & analog effects for Country & southern rock)

Thanks to following my dream I had at age 6, I obtained that dream & much more.. in July of 98 I got to play with Merle Haggard & his son Noel.. That was a great day
