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

I don't like looking back.

I soon gave up instruction for self-teaching

I have always been a sucker for the big, upbeat chorus.

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

There were some older guitarists on my side of town, and I got to know many of them
