Hello everyone. I'm not new to this site, but new to the forum. I'm happy to be a part of an increadible group of individuals. That being musicians.
I've been playing since that age of 12. And every since that infamous day, i have been hounded by an entity(which i will not name here). But i heard this was common for many musicians. Although i have played around with music since then, it has never been my intention to go very far with it. I've done it simply as a hobby. But one day, when in my early twenties, while showering(this is significant because water acts as a conductor between worlds)the entity finally spoke to me. It told me that if i didn't give my life to music, i would fail at everything else.
Well, fast forward twenty-odd years, now i am completely broke. I have lost my high paying job due to a shut-down, my house, all my savings, my beautiful girlfriend, and now all of my friends. After being jobless for two years, i finally landed a job at less than half the pay i was getting at the other place. After only three weeks into the job, while stopped at a red light on my way home from work, my car got whipped-out by a tractor-trailer. Fortunately, i got out without a scratch. I consequently lost my job after that, and have since been unemployed. If it were not for a charismatic priest, i would be homeless right now. Over the course of the past 5 years, one thing after another has come to strip me of everything i own. Except for one thing. My guitars.
Therefore, now having nothing left to loose but my soul, i am finally going to start my musical career. Believe me .... i know how to play. I can also write great lyrics with increadibly moving melodies. I won't explain why i didn't pursue music from the get go. It's sufficient to say that i had my reasons.
Anyway, I am here now in this forum to set the record straight. "You got that entity"? "It is now time to play"!
Stay tuned folks ... the "Rock is about to hit the fans".
God Bless
