Breezy Johnson
Born in Kissimmee Florida, lived in Orlando. Transplanted to Kentucky.
Right now I paint BIG houses for a living. I've played in several bands over the last 30 years but now I make all my music at the house all myself. I really want to get into tv commercials, film scoring, etc.
I'm a God fearing man and politics get me fired up! :-) We won't get into that right now though, I might share some of that with you if I start the blog.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Too many to list but the most memories were from the Crossfire Band (southern rock) in Florida and Bustin' Loose (country rock, variety) in Kentucky.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I played live for years (played dead a few times too) but I quit drinking about 6 years ago so I don't go to bars anymore.
