In the beginning of my Army enlistement I was going to Combat Medic school in San Antonio, TX and on one of the weekends we soldiers were given the chance to get out to the city for a little rest and relaxation. A few of my fellow soldiers and I walked by a little place called Jim McCallum's Landing where a piano player was riffing about. I love jazz piano and thus insisted that we make a stop. After a while I asked him in which key was he playing (just to break the ice). "E" he said. "You play? That's a pretty rare question that I get around here." I responded in the affirmitive and then he offerd the key board to me. "No thanks", I said but a small group of America's finest wouldn't have it any other way and they (the fellow soldiers from my platoon) shoved me up there. I went and played "Misty" and had a good response.

Too many embarrassing moments like forgetting whole passages or playing out of key or the in the wrong position on the fretboard. One rather awkward moment though was when I was in a group covering The Beatles' "In My Life". I had the honour of handling lead vocals. At the close of the song when I went to hit the falsetto a capella I completely butchered it......Can't hide that!

My first guitar was really my Mom's that she received from my Dad for her birthday present. Soon enough my brother and I commandeered it, 'Nuf said!
