I've been at since the mid 60's. :D Started taking lessons on the mandolin at 9 then added guitar when I turned 12. Stopped formal training when I hit 16 and started learning everything I could: Santana, Deep Purple, Savoy Brown, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, and a lot more. Then, in 1973 I discovered Blue Oyster Cult and a great friend in Donald (buck dharma) Roeser who I had the honor of building a duplicate to my SG for. He used it for years at live shows and it became his guitar of choice when playing "Dont Fear The Reaper" At 20 I began trying to compose my own music and at 23 started a mostly original band, we did a few select covers. Did that for the next ten years. That part of my life then ended for numerous reasons but I continued to jam along with friends and to the stereo in my home. Now I'm back at it, writing and recording music in my cozy room at my home in the country. I dedicate all my music to my wife, ...Gina..you all know her as wildhoneypie
