ABOUT

Was in a few bands when I was younger but didn't have confidence in myself to make a living at it. i WENT TO JAM SESSIONS OVER THE YEARS WHEN I HAD THE URGE AND PLAYED ALLONG WITH THE RADIO TO ALL DIFFERENT GENRES OF MUSIC AND I EVOLVED INTO A PRETTY DAMN GOOD PLAYER. NOW I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MY PLAIYNG AND WANT TO PLAY ALL THE TIME. I HAVE SOME OLD ORRIGANALS I'D LIKE TO REDO THAT ME AND A GOOD BUDDY WROTE IN THE EARLY 80S. HE WAS SO TALENTED AND REAL MELODIC HE TAUGHT ME ALOT ,UNFORTUNATELY HE COMMITED SUICIDE IN 88. HE KNEW HIS THEORY LIKE A PROFESSOR,I MISS HIM HIS NAME WAS ALLYN WEST JR.HE OFTEN SAID ITS NOT THE QUANTITY OF NOTES ITS THE QUALITY! I THINK DYNAMICS ARE REAL IMPORTANT. I'M REAL LAID BACK AND RATHER SILLY CAN TAKE CONS CRITICISM AND OPEN 2 ALL KINDS OF CREATIVITY. I JUST WANT 2 PLAY AND WRITE. KEEP SMILIN !!! 520-528-4422
