Influences
I got interested in music when I was age 12. I bought my first guitar at a pawn shop for 20 bucks. The guitar was crap, but was a good start. My influences have been varied through the years and include; The Beatles (of course), yardbirds, stones, James Taylor, The Eagles, Garth Brooks, Chris Stapleton… the list is long. I started collecting guitars. I haven't played with a band in many years, but it's time to get back.
