One of my first jobs was playing honky-tonk piano at the VFW every Friday and Saturday night in the early 70's. I played there 2 years straight. I put thumb tacks on the felts to give the piano the "rink a tink" sound. Piano playing lead to keyboard synthesizers, which lead to learning midi, digital recording, DAWs, software plugins, software instruments, sound systems, lighting and more. I'm retired now after working 12 years in metal foundries and 25 years in prisons. Now it's time to play. My playing style is a mixture of classic rock, country and blues. Yep, I still play honky-tonk piano.Band/artist history
