Played violin in grades 3-6. Switched to drums when the Beatles arrived. School garage bands, later small club bands. Took up guitar at about age 25. Learned by ear and with the help of a copy of the Heavy Guitar Bible. I can play bass, limited keys and blues harp. Lead vocal range Winter to Thorogood. Compose on Roland workstation. Part time bands 80's-90's. Bought a business 1995, music stopped dead except for open mic nights where I got the itch for the blues. FIRM believer in "taste and tone" over speed and volume. I know where the volume control is and how to USE it.
