Band???? What band???? :) I am the band!!! No, reallly! It's just me and my guitar. As far as history goes, I have a lot over the years. I started playing guittar at age 13 when I dug and old shitty acoustic out of my buddy Scott's trash can at the end of driveway! I asked him if I could have it and he laughed so hard, probably because it had a massive hole in the front (think Willie Nelson's "Trigger" acoustic guitar!). Miss ya' Scottie and think of you often. My beloved Dad signed me up for lessons a short time after that. I had upgraded to a $40 electric Sear's Silvertone (amp included!) that I bough at a yardsale from a NUN that played it in CHURCH!!! Swear to God! Ooops...giggle. I lined the cardboard case with real leopard ski n from my Dad's furshop... Now I was styling!! It was really too bad that the neck on that guitar was curved worse than a string on a bow. I'm taking bow and arrow here! So my first lessons were from Michael "Tico" Voight. He brought along his new Gibson ES electric model which made me drool all over mine (mine guitar that is...)Fast forward a year or two when I purchased my next electric guitar from the original Exeter Music store in downtown Exeter, NH. I think that one was $90....ready for the big time! By this time my guitar teacher was Eric Sinclair, my Junior High chorus teacher!!! How cool is it that he also gave me lessons at my house, on the front porch. I used to love to see him drive up the driveway with his beautiful Ovation tcked onto the backseat of his convertable Karman Ghea!!! (someone can check the spelling on that for mee please and get back to me...I'm on a roll here!) And so it went from theere. My best memories are starti ng open mics, or Hoot nights with my good friend Rick LeFave at the original Sparky's Cafe, downtown Exeter. Man we had fun times with Karen Cook and Chris "Mercedez" Benz, and Bob the bartender who really cranked the blender loud during the chorus of someone else playing "Margaritaville". I think some bar patron actually sstucck a mic up next to the blender for that part! After that it was some solo stuff but my next bigtime fun was with the band Dot The Eye where I covered lead vocals and rhythm guitar with Scottie, Skip and Jimbo .Long live Luka's Greenhouse and The Somersworth Eagles Club! Since then there been various home recorrding studios, various instruments (eelectric and acoustic), various wives and various children. There have been a few various girlfriend in there as well ("various" not intended as a demeaning term by any means!). Noww it'a the VERY few and far between solo show somewhere around the Seacoast of New Hampshire. Putting these cover tunes together will hopefully bring some more opportunities my way.
