Studio Quality Live Streaming

A few weeks before a gig as a drummer for a live show my left wrist got bit twice while carelessly throwing myself between two of my dogs who had started fighting. Long story short I didn't properly care for the wound, it got infected really badly and I was unable to use my left hand for almost an entire year. I did however manage to join a small QTPoC drum circle that played under the 4th Ave bridge in Tucson and drummed as creatively as I could with one hand.

I do not recall any particularly embarrassing moments as I have expended mass amounts of energy trying to avoid such moments myself. As a band the lead singer failed to show up for a gig and that was a bit embarrassing but we went ahead and played the set as an instrumental one.

A funny story I have is that I bought my first electric guitar after I graduated high school with the sole intent to play it with distortion. I couldn't figure out for years how to get that effect out of the amp and so I didn't play it. One day a friend of mine simply pushed a small button and shazam! Distortion. This is perhaps my most ridiculous story and speaks to my propensity to overlook the painfully obvious!

My first instrument was a recorder lol! I hated that thing! It wasn't rock at all. My first guitar was an acoustic one from a neighborhood pawn shop. Eventually I sold it, I think because I was moving out of state for love and wanted to travel light. I sold all of my guitars actually. I had three at that point, a blue fender squier, a green 7 string electric and that old funny smelling acoustic guitar from the pawn shop. My favorite guitar is my black acoustic Martin. I just love that guitar and will NEVER get rid of that one.
