I started playing the guitar when I was 14 but didn't get serious about it for a couple of years.

I've never been to any sort of concert.

My guitar is an inexpensive, natural finished Ash strat copy from rondomusic.com. My amp is a 1965 model Fender Concert, I use an Alesis Nanoverb for reverb and a pair of Dano Pastrami overdrive pedals (one set for full overdrive and the other set for a four or five dB boost for solos. My keyboard is an 88 key Casio Privia which I run through a 15" solid state Fender bass combo.

Jimi Hendrix.

I play guitar & keyboard and am the lead singer in a beer-joint, weekend-warrior band. We play a lot of traditional Country, a little vintage Rock & Roll and a little Blues. Our main venue is Pats bar in Kingsland (TX) but I'm open for whatever comes along.

Ron Carter. I love jazz but have never had the opportunity to play much of it.

I've played for over a thousand people a time or two but my most memorable gig was at a club in Del Rio (TX) called The Starting Gate where I spent two nights playing for the bartender and one waitress. On the second night I persuaded the bartender to pay us half the booked price and we left early (never to return).

Wouldn't bring any. I only like music when I have an instrument in my hands and am allowed to make a contribution to the entertainment.
