Why I'm Here

I took guitar lessons in high school for 2 years and switched to bass playing bass consistently for quite a few years.  I’ve always wanted to play guitar in addition to bass, but several false starts the past 20 years have prohibited me from doing so.  All in all, since joining TAC in early 2019, I’ve been playing consistently almost everyday for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.

In terms of musical influences, I’m all over the map.  I grew up on Motown, the Beatles, and 60/70’s rock.  In my elementary school years, pretty much pop/rock and started getting  exposure to Harder Rock like AC/DC, Quiet Riot, Iron Maiden and some punk such as the Misfits which evolved into me primarily being into Metal, Punk, Ska, and Hardcore in high school then really into alternative rock as time grew on.   I worked at a live music venue for years as a second job in my 30’s and expanded my taste even more.
