When I was about 3, my grandfather used to give me and my sister a nickel to sit out on the front porch with him and sing songs.

On acoustic guitar I tend to stay in the key of D for some reason. On electric guitar I keep basic: C, G, D, and A. The key of D minor is also real good for me.

I was born in Alabama and my first live music experiences were in church. Every Sunday we watched regional gospel groups on television singing their hearts out

If music became extinct now, I dont know what Id be good for.

It was more fun trying to figure out I Want To Hold Your Hand than to take lessons. By this time I knew basic chords

I'm not the kind of guy who deserves to play a vintage guitar because I'm too rough on instruments.
