Now I know this Newer Generation thinks music is stuff from Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus/Hanna Montana, Usher, and Others. I think everyone is definitely entitled to their opinion and own taste but when I say music I mean the real stuff... Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffett, Garth Brooks, Toby Kieth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and a ton of other musicians and bands that actually played their own music and sang lyrics that we can actually understand. My love for music is embedded deep from generations of musicians. Now I don't mean people performing in stadiums and stuff, I mean people setting on the front porch with a banjo, guitar, and a pair of spoons. Yes, I said a pair of spoons. I ventured out a little when performing in a classic rock band in high school. Playing Guitar and singing a little. Still play on a fairly regular bassis with my Father and wouldn't trade the time and experience for anything.
The other aspect of Music in my life was playing trombone in the my high school marching band. Now comming from a small town our high school was small so we were able to participate and march in the high school band starting in the 6th grade. So for 7 years of my life that was my life. I learned more about life as I grew up in the band than I learned about music. Never the less my teacher Mr. Sharp continues to be one of my friends and I will never be able to thank him enough for not only showing me a great appriciation for music but for being and incredible mentor and helping shape the person I have become today!
