Luthier and have given some guitars away to kids whose parents can't afford to buy. I want to help kids acquire a skill that can be satisfying on so many levels!
    I started on Drums, and later became a singing Drummer. Then I discovered Harley Davidsons. Broke 3 bones in my neck.. Learned a bit of guitar while I healed up. Guitar got me started writing bad songs for awhile!! I still play, sing, and write my own music..

    Not only did he play well for his age, but he also has decent timing. He has definitely dedicated himself to music. Smart kid, and awesome band for giving home a chance

      Decent. I'd guess that the speed was due to him being nervous

    This young man is going to go somewhere in his life with his talent, if he gets all the support he needs. I don't this young man but he has my support

    The 10 year old Jake plays like an experienced adult.
    That was brilliant of you to let Jake on stage to play with you.
    You have a beautiful warm kind heart man, all praises of you.
