INDIE SPIRIT My heart and sole is Country Music. I started that journey whe I was eleven years old. My mother and dad was musicians and all their families were. My mom bought my first guitar when I was eleven from a Montgomery Wards Catalog.I learned to play on that guitar and when I was thirteen I worked for a farmer for 50 cents a day and told him not to pay me until I had $30.00. So that's what he did. When I got payed My dad took me to town and I bought my first real guitar(not sayin the montgomery wards guitar wasn't real but it was just to learn on and cut my fingers up with... lol.) The Guitar I bought was a 1956 Harmony Sovereign. I played onstage the first time when I was 14 and I was hooked right then. Dad was a member of the VFW so he got me to play for them. From there it went to night clubs and on to Calif. where I won talent shows at the Golden Embers in Rialto and they sent me to The Palimino in Hollywood and I won that talent show. When I was about 26 or 27 years old I got to be a guest in the old reiman (Grand Old Opry.)
