Saw Elvis on Ed Sullivan show and wanted to play the guitar at six. Started trying to playing guitar in 1965 at 13 with a play along to The Ventures record ,lost the record but am still trying to play it anyway. I told my grandma that when I grow up I want to be a musician! She said you cant do both! I hate it when old people are right! I've played harmonica since 1969 My fav websites are Myspace,Reverbnation,Splice,Zooomr ,Youtube ,Jamacast, the Texas lottery site to check my non-winning numbers. I am trying to learn flash to do animation and movie fx for youtube ,but still a neophyte. I love music ,food ,fun and more music! I hope to make money someday,because I've always been a musician.
