My musical background is like almost every non classical musician in the world. One day a special record was heard and that was it. I was hooked, started trying to play various instruments and was off to bar land to become a rock star. What else? ↗

I like the guys on the team and the coaching here. I especially like the management. The Galaxy have been really good to me. ↗

The people I still talk to are some of the old Galaxy players all over the place. That's a bond that's pretty special. ↗

It's easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play. ↗
