Band History:
Guitar wasn't anything I actually thought I would ever pick up. I admired it...but only from a distance. Then there was a class in highschool for basic beginner guitar...I learned 10 chords, one scale, and my interest was solidified.
My singing ability found a welcome partner...it was a good thing all around!
