I started playing the guitar at the age of 8 in Mexico, Maine in 1960. I payed 60 cents for my first guitar which was all beat up, broken and smashed. It cost 90 cents for the strings. I learned three chords from my older brother Joe and taught myself to play. In three months I was teaching my brother to play lead guitar.
I used to have my guitar straped to my body all day long practicing. I used to go to bed playing the guitar and fall asleep with it. Wake up the next morning and continue to play all day again while most of the boys my age was outside learning how to repair cars.
I played guitart and sang off and on for the past 50 years. Mostly off until receintly. Within the last 10 years I have managed to aquire instruments for recording original music and began writting originals.
Within the last 3 years after getting a divorced lossing my job and house I have been able to devote all my energy to improving my craft by writing performing and recording new original music.
