scott sanford is a nashville wanna-be born in louisiana, yet too far away from the gulf of mexico to be considered a true cajun. scott began playing music at 4 years old, showing interest in the piano at bay springs baptist church, located ironically in chopin, louisiana. his mother, beverly, helped to encourage his musical ability and bought him his own upright piano on easter sunday, 1981. It also didn't hurt that his father was a piano salesman. Scott didn't pick up a guitar until he was 14 years old, but soon showed everyone that the piano was just a stepping stone.
