ABOUT

I started playing guitar at around ten yrs old and basically learned how to play by jamming along with Hendrix and Cream albums that belonged to my older siblings,..my first concert was Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention in 1974,....I'm trying to hook up with other musicians from my area that have similar influences to put something together that kicks ass,.........playing out locally would be great....I work days,...so I'm availiable nights and weekends.....
