Ive been playing swing chords for a long time.

After so many changes, I realized I'd better cling to my own family and to what I've got right here.

My first solo was in church when I was five.

My mother was really into big band. It was played in the house all the time.

You can drink out of Lincoln's nose. They got the Hard Rock t-shirts. They got Elvis, too.

Aledo will always be home to me because I spent the first 27 years of my life there - it's such a special place - and because of the experiences I had there, I've become the person I am today.

For some reason, the concept of writing with swing chords was intimidating.
