Well for starters I guess that I should preface this by saying that I was a Rhythm Guitarist turned Bass player. I never really wanted to play the Bass, that is until I learned the instrument. I started playing the Guitar at about the age of 14, taking lessons at a small music store called North Country Music in Richland Township. After about 2 years of taking lessons I began working behind the counter and giving beginner guitar lessons. It had always been a dream of mine to work in music so it was a good gig for me at that age, always having the hope to play in a band. That all seemed lost a few years later when I lost a fight with a table saw, cutting all 5 digits on my right hand. For many years after the saw incident I kept messing with guitars and figured that I would just enjoy playing for fun, or at parties, even though I still wanted to play in a working band. Everything changed in November of 2000 when Jeff and I were tossing a couple down and Jeff told me that he and Jimmy had been playing for years but could never find a bass player that stuck around. After a rental from P&S, and learning a couple songs, Here We Are....... I still have a lot to learn, but now I consider myself a bass player/rhythm guitarist. I never knew what I was missing. Oh by the way... The years of singing in the shower paid off also. See Ya At A Show |
