In 1969 my dad passed away... Not long before that he gave me a beat to hell Hohner concert harmonica and to my my brother, a warped neck Silvertone acoustic guitar... Years later my brother took up the guitar and I started playing the blues harp. I found that I have a knack for writing song lyrics and my brother gives me music to put those lyrics to and as a result we have accumulated a huge portfolio of songs. We call ourselves the Acoustic Gridcats and we have played lived a handful of times, but that's not our thing right now. We want to get our songs heard and maybe performed by real musicians with talent.
