Jcpstrat
After a music layoff, I rediscovered my Fender Strat, purchased a Zoom PS-02 around 2003 to record some cover songs to play along with and help me practice. With help from other musicians in the Zoom PS-02/PS-04 and Fender Discussion Page (FDP) forums, I started putting some of my ideas into songs.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Beginning in 2005 I started playing regularly in a local church Praise Band, in Georgetown, KY, that needed an electric guitar for Christian Praise music. I really enjoy the music (which I had never given much attention to before) and the musicians I met. Played for Tsunami Money Raising event in 05, at a local coffee shop and for a special community Christmas Concert in 2007 and currently playing as needed at two (2) church locations for Crossroads Christian Church in Georgetown & Lexington, Ky..

Anything else?
SoundClick is special. It was through this venue that an independent film director (Paul Wendell), heard my song Devil Woman and we struck a deal for it to be used in his Independent feature film "Jessie". He also asked me to write another song for the film and I wrote "There's Just Something About You" for same film. I've also written several songs for Harmony Christian Church. My latest song is "Guide Us This Day.
