Why I'm Here

I live in NW Georgia just below Chattanooga TN, I first picked up the guitar in my teen years never really learned anything just the start to a few Metallica songs.  Fast forward to late 2000 freshly divorced and a little wild. I started hanging out with a group of people who liked to go get lost on the old logging trails in the foot hills of the Smoky Mountains stoke up a fire, drink allot and play even more. The whole environment was intoxicating, friendship, kindred spirits, wood smoke, crisp breeze and the sound of 6+ guitars with voices raised echoing thru the holler! the group faded but my love for guitar never did. My uncle Tracy taught me allot, we had a saying about how to play songs there was the right way, the wrong way and Tracy’s way… His way always sounded good but not quite right. life got crazy and I put the guitar down for a few years. About Two years ago our church needed a guitar player. I had never played in front of an audience before or with other instruments, just guitars. I stepped out of my comfort zone and it has been awesome!

City

I want to be confident around other players. I would love to be able to write a song one day. To just be a better me…
