When I was 16 I purchased a guitar and a piano, started writing what I'd hear in my mind, and have finally had the chance to start recording some of it.
Got to the World Wide Finals for the 'Air Force In Blues' competition once. I've been deployed ever since and haven't had the time I'd like to to share what I've written.
Occasionally at nearby bars when compelled.
