Growing up with a father who worked for a fairly well-known blues label, and later for washburn guitars, I guess I was kind of destined to play. My father never forced playing on me, nor did he even try to get me started. It was more of an organic thing, but as a conscious choice it's still sort of a no brainer that I would end up playing. Never had any lessons, I've spent about 7 years making it up as I go along. I don't consider myself a musician because I don't know the names of chords nor have I ever learned any covers. I'm about as pure noodling as you can get, which is fine by me. Playing is a daily ritual, and I'll go through both periods of stagnation and wild creativity.
