OK, Indiana isn't all that great, but it's where I hang my hat. Originally a guitarist, I started playing 19 years ago when I was a mere lad of 16. My first guitar was a cheap Lotus. I hated that guitar! I continued to play until my early 20s. I gave it up for awhile. I didn't start playing again until my wife bought me a Fender back in late 2000. We were watching Farm Club one night and I was telling her how much I missed playing and the regret I didn't stay with it. I was seeing all these young kids on TV making their dreams come true, and I have to admit.... I was feeling jealous/envious. She felt sorry for me and bought me a guitar. I had hoped to see myself on Farm Club one day. I started playing guitar in church in 2002. When my family and I moved to a different church, I switched to bass. I've been playing for 2 years now.

My family and I (Cartoon style) My equipment I don't have an impressive set up. Just an American Fender Jazz Bass played through the church's Peavy amp. I also have a Gibson Les Paul Studio, Fender Mexican Strat, and Taylor acoustic.
