I started out as a young child listening to my father play the guitar. I knew the sound of tuning a gutiar before i could hold one. By the time i held one i mastered sound. Dont get me wrong this does not mean I can play an insterment it just means I can make the sounds requested or required on any insterment. I am a hook man. I started out with a talkboy moved up to a 4 track and then eventually audio. I play piano, guitar, DR5, and Rolland 505, I havent been in group for years but from time to time still pick up the mic.
