Artist History Because the trumpet made his lips feel all vibrationy, the artist as a young man took up the guitar and aspired to play all the non-brass sections of Classical Gas. Eventually, he discovered the wonder of songwriting, penning his first tune at age 10 - a typical C&W stomper called "We're Gonna Have Some Time Tonight." Fortunately, that tune was lost to the ether as his musical interest and influences grew. He spent a good many years in a Salieri-like tantrum since he didn't have the talent to mimic the guitar greats he idolized. Eventually, he settled into his own style of music, content with its message and sound and now pens lyrics and music to satisfy his muse whenever he finds the time.

Instruments Whatever he can get his hands on.
