Family
Both my family and extended family has been very supportive of my
musical endeavors since day one.
Music History
My mom started me on piano lessons around age 7. I didn't like piano
much 'cause I couldn't play KISS on the thing.
I got my first guitar from my neighbor at age 12, and soon I began
to study under Chuck Biellt. After aquiring a good guitar and learning
a few popular songs, myself and a few friends put together a band
called Silver Serpent.
In high school I played in a house band at a local club called
The Ritz mainly because I got paid for it and ended up with some
cool stage experience.
Then came that blur I call the college years. I had a decent band
while in college called Malachi which was made up of music students.
I studied jazz guitar (there is NO metal shredding god major, dammit)
and was in jazz ensemble and a blues quartet also while learning
all about 13th cords and the dorian mode from Dr. Eich.
College ended with a Bachelor's degree from good ole WV. Bands
came and went with nothing really notable about any of them.
