What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? I am the youngest of 5 sons. My older brothers played instruments. When I came of age to join them, they needed a drummer. So at a very young age, I took up the drums, but learned other instruments from them (i.e. keys, guitar, etc.). I’ve been in bands since then and professionally since I was 18. I played in progressive/alternative bands for many years and then started performing in the genre blues, funk, and New Orleans groove. I had the opportunity to play with many iconic musicians and was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. Through all of the rhythm section years, I continued to play guitar and write music, really, to entertain myself. Thankfully, I keep honing my craft and continue to do so today.
