I come from a musical family. I started piano at 6, while it was not my instrument of choice, it was helpful with my early basic music theory. I started playing guitar in my early teens. I played trumpet in middle school band. I played Trumpet & French Horn in band, marched Trumpet, Mellophone, Bass Drum in the marching band, and played guitar in the Jazz and Pep bands. In my early 20's I played in a great little rock n roll band called "Inner Peace" in northern Indiana. We played several ABATE shows including taking 3rd in a battle of the bands (early 90's) where we were the opening act. The crowd response was measured to see who won. We felt pretty good being the opening act, drawing the crowd, and taking 3rd place. Life got heavy, raised some kids, financed my family, bought some property, and am now back to doing for myself more. I take playing my guitar pretty seriously, I practice daily, some more than others, but I make a conscious effort to play daily. I'd love to use what I know and collaborate, jam, or write some music. I have a good understanding of theory and love to discuss music.
