Saw Elvis on Ed Sullivan show and wanted to play the guitar at six. Started trying to playing guitar in 1965 at 13 with a play along to The Ventures record ,lost the record but am still trying to play it anyway. I told my grandma that when I grow up I want to be a musician! She said you cant do both! I hate it when old people are right! I've played harmonica since 1969 My fav websites are Myspace,Reverbnation,Splice,Zooomr ,Youtube ,Musicnation {vote for my song Night Sweats} the Texas lottery site to check my non-winning numbers. I am trying to learn flash to do animation and movie fx for youtube ,but still a neophyte. I love music ,food ,fun and more music! I hope to make money someday, because I've always been a musician. I lived in a commune in New Mexico ,begged for change in Toronto,naked at a rainbow gathering in Texas,arrested in Denver for attempting to climb a tree,ate turnips right out of the ground in Mississippi,worked at a motorcycle shop in Dallas,drove motorcycle naked at lake Travis near Austin. Played for George Mc'Govern bennifit in Austin (Jerry Jeff waker was there!)Played at the first white blues club on 6th street in Austin (the lamplight inn) with Uncle John Turner and the Texas Sheiks, Uncle John(John recently died)(John and Tommy were on Johnny Winters First Album), lil Bruce Bolens(Vocals),Tommy Shannon ,Jack Morgan [the best live guitarist I ever met ,I heard he died(incert sad face)] and some time Keith Ferguson ( The most fun bass guitarist I ever met,he died too!)it wasnt my band but in Austin back then everybody jammed with everybody else.Played every sat night for 2 years at the One Night club (it was a block away from the police station and the wildest club in Austin) in a band called the Sugarland Blues Band (if you know where Stuart Palmer )is email me, [Storm]Jimmy Vaughn played there every monday night with Doyle Bramhall sr (great vocals)and a great harp player Lewis,jammed with them a couple times! Jammed with Stevie Ray at the Rome Inn ,Played with George Underwood and the Dukes ,Holy Katz(know where Pasha is?),The Last Gash Wine Circus,Toad,Roy Coyote,Clarence Clemonds at the Armadilla World H.Q. with Steam Heat ,jammed with the old members of Point Blank ( incert sad story of record label ripoff),Jim Dandy,Rocky Athas,opened for Georgia Satalites,John Mayall ,Jeff Healey,jammed with at Freddie King at Mother Blues in Dallas. Played in Johnny Taylor's band,jammed with Bugs henderson, the Stratoblasters,Hash Brown[in Dallas],I have lived under a staircase,and in a goat shed,slept in lots of goodwill boxs,but their hard to find now. I love to play the blues and trying to play jazz,hope to learn more. Have played rock ,country ,reggae ,and funk in bands. I live in the country 50 miles outside of Dallas , Texas. My favorite studio is The Kitchen Studios in Dallas Tx on Garland rd. The owner JP is gifted,you should check him out! My recording are not made there but would be if I had money!
