Life is an adventure. At least that's what I'm told. I think perhaps I'm in a comedy or even a farce. Either way things are always interesting or on their way to interesting.
I was born and raised in Phoenix Arizona. It was fun. I have great parents. I just missed being a 'real' hippie by a couple of years. I settled for becoming an 'old hippie' in my later years. High school was a painful experience that seems so much better 30 years later.
I started playing my mothers old Harmony guitar in 1976. I really wanted to be John Denver and I looked like John Lennon, so the possibilities were endless. However, no practice leads to poor ability. No matter what kind of 'potential' I had. I moved on to work/life/love/etc and forgot most of the Jim Croce song book I memorized in those early years.
In 2003 I bought a 'real' guitar. It was great, but I only remembered "Country Roads". So that's what I played, over and over, every lunch and break time, until I learned another tune (several months later). After that it became a habit. Then it became an addiction. In a year or so my hands began acting on their own and I began writing songs.
