Started playing violin in 2nd grade. (Thank you mom and dad) Played through high school. Picked up my first guitar in 5th grade. My first piano interest came after the keyboard player in one of a Classic Rock cover band I played in got me interested. Used the piano to mostly talk theory. The first time I ever picked up a blues harp it came right to me like I'd been born with one. That was then. Now working a real job (manufacturing/process engineer) retired from live gigs and bars and drunks and women with , well you get the idea. Just living a nice country life with my music, my 95 lb. Lab, a pontoon boat, and a decent DAW studio. Life is good.
My Main Rig
Too much to list but my favorite guitar right now is my 94 Gibson nighthawk 3pup Special. I also play my violin from time to time and a General Music S3 workstation with a couple Emu modules and Akai sampler.
