I stared playing music when I was in elementary school with the Viola, but gave that up in Junior High and started playing guitar, and played live the same year I started playing in our 9th grade talent show. In highschool I played guitar in the Jazz Band, but I didn't enjoy playing from sheet music as I did for playing from my ear. I was also in two bands at thie time one that played Heavy Meatal and the other that played Alternative rock, bot bands playing out at least 1to 2 nights a week. The altenative band was making more money so I left the Heavy Meatal band and stayed with the alternative baand. By the time I was 19 our band was earning enough money that we were able to rent a bar in down town lakeland, I stayed with them until I had to choose between them and college, and I chose college, but continued to play guitar.
