Story

After goofing around with playing and guitar and singing for 40 years I finally graduated to performing occasionally. With the use of music book, since I got too old to remember the songs. Lol.

What is music to you? What does it give you?

Honey by Bobby Goldsboro because it was the first song that made me cry.
