Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Well,
A friend of mine taught me to play C,D and G on the guitar when I was 16...back in 1986.
Since then I taught myself as much theory and technique as I was willing to learn.
When I felt like I had enough knowledge to start building songs, I bought a tascam 4 track analog recorder and started to write.
Most of what came out was crap..
Eventually I bought an 8-track digital recorder and my production skills have developed a little further.
With the help of reviewers and my friends and family opinions, I feel like I have become a better songwriter over the past year.
Anyway, I'm trying hard to sound original and interesting..I hope, if nothing else, I can live up to that.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Only a few times back in 2000 at some Open Mic nights at a local bar in Melbourne Florida
