Anyway , I have been playing for 20+ years , started out as a drummer, made the move to guitar because I felt to limited behind a kit.I have owned a music store , worked at various music stores ( i hate to admit it but I was actually a manager at Guitar Center , LOW point in life !!!) More importantly I am a father to 4 Great kids and I have a Great wife who gets the whole G.A.S syndrome ...Also a TONE HOUND !!!! ( its a NEVER ending journey .....

I like ALL styles of music ...Started out a big Genesis, Yes , Eloy, Rush , mostly Prog style music ...Then fell into the whole Zep, Deep Purple, Bad Co., rock thing ....Then Funk got a hold of me Parliament , Ohio Players etc...Then I was KNOCKED out by the whole jazz / fusion thing .....Anyway I havent fallen for country , but im still young (although Brent Mason , and Albert Lee are AMAZING!! )
