MUSIC

I've been playing music for a long time, but I was never really trained. True, I took piano lessons when I was 3, but shortly after a pretty brutal car accident, I gave it up until I was in high school. True, I took heavy metal guitar lessons from Chet Thompson for a few years, but even that gave way to other pursuits on the guitar because I just couldn't get the hang of playing lead guitar. True, I studied classical guitar and piano in college, but that gave way to...well, Theater. Still, today music plays a very important role in my life.

This is Sunshine, the guitar of preference right now and the one I use during the play "Welcome Home, Soldier". Sunshine is a Yamaha Compass CPX-5 YN. Salma - my Baby Taylor - is a really fun guitar to play, and I can take her anywhere. I named her Salma because she's petite, dark, and curvaceous. Santiago is one of my oldest guitars - my parents bought it for me about 17 years ago. Santi was made by Takamine.
Romeo - my oldest guitar - was named after my first guitar teacher's band. I've played Romeo in front of as many as 2000 people. Romeo is a Kramer Pacer, and has seen my hair go from short to long to really short.

Ozzy, a Vantage flying V bass I bought off a friend for fifty bucks, is just a reminder of how ridiculous I must have looked through the 80's.
I mean, come on now.
