A Life Of Music


Hello all, and welcome to my blog!

Many my find this an uninteresting read, as I am not an accomplished recording artist, or some melodic virtuoso schooled in advanced fretboard wizardry. My dream of becoming a hippy rock star ended with a set of reassignment orders to Korea in October 1983.


I was in the USAF at the time, stationed at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The band was called "Touton Hall" and was composed of some friends I met in the service, and friends I knew prior. The story of Touton Hall is a fun one, and will be detailed in later posts as we progress through the years. For now, I would like to just give an introduction of what this blog is about.

A brief outline of where I will be going with this!
  •  I will be having fun discussing the musical people in my life. Those family members and friends who introduced me to various styles of music and taught me the basics of playing an instrument.
  • My experiences of trying to play different instruments.
  • My selection of the guitar as my primary ax.
  • Experiences with learning music from others, jam sessions, and joining or starting bands.
  • The various music genres I enjoy, and the styles I enjoy playing with others.
  • The discovery of my personal faith, as the result of a gift of music
  • How my love of music has influenced others.
I know there are many more things I could have, or should have put in that outline, but, I prefer to not write the whole story from an introduction. :^)

Soon to Come: "A Lone Acoustic Guitar"
