Stewart Rose
Hello and Welcome. I hope you enjoy my Music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I got my first real six string..sound familiar..I was forced to take piano lessons when I was 8 years old and hated it.. If only I could do that over..My dad was a jazz/big band piano player and he really wanted me to play music with him ,so he got me a trumpet and I played with him , I really wanted to play guitar but he wouldn't have any of that in the house..Soo he got me a bass which was ok . I played bass with the jazz band in High school. Went to college and got my first guitar when I was at Louisiana Tech. Unfortunaly I couldn't figure out what the other two strings were for until a couple of years later. I had gone to a Harry Chapin concert at school and heard how he crafted stories into music and was hooked..bought a Harry Chapin and Dan Fogleburg song book and learned to play from them..
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
