The last real band I was ever in was in 1976, in Illinois. We were a good band, we had issues among us. We missed our calling so to say. We broke up and I left for California. Dan Fogleburg gathered some local bands to record at a studio he had bought. Head East became fairly famous at that time from their sessions. We were on the list of bands Dan was interested in, I found out some years later. After I joined the Army and ended up back here in Kentucky, I found out. I did a country duet accoustic thing in Texas while in the Army in the late `70s. I was on stage once since in 1983 when a friend called me up to play Johnnie B. Goode at a local function. I travelled around doing construction work and a bro of mine and me used to do the pawn shop circuit. We'd find a shop go in, find a couple of good axes and start jammin'. I sometimes play bass. Accoustic bass is very awesome in it's own right. We are planning an accoustic set right now if we can get it together ?
Everyone has a story. Most of them are sad in their own way. The greatest musician I ever knew could not get along with anyone, not even himself. His talent was wasted with alcohol.
