The primary function I serve in the band is as:

I can also fumble my way through:
About any song given the key and song type
I became interested in music when I was:
A child who couldn’t keep his feet and hands from tapping. It drove my parents nuts!
I started to play music:
in grade school … I picked up a trumpet and continued to play trumpet through 10th grade where I decided that guitar was cooler!

Outside of performing with the band, I have a life. In my personal life:
I’m a Grandfather, father, and husband. My hobbies include cooking (making breads, sausage, pickling, grilling, cheese), woodworking (making tables, chairs, night stands, cutting boards, cups, bowls, utensils and frames), fermentation (making alcoholic and vinegar elixirs), and gardening.
When not performing in a band I like to:
Be with my wife and granddaughter, visit my sons, travel, sit and drink a cup of coffee on the porch, watch birds, go for a hike with my wife and/or my son’s dog.
My thoughts on Pieces of Eight are:
Very talented musicians and how the hell do they continue to stay up so late
My favorite band related saying is:
