Most of you know I was born and raised in Streator, Illinois. When I was 14, I started my first band. Ever since then, I've had a passion for music.Though a lot of musical influences are from Rock-N-Roll based bands like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Van Halen, I grew up on a great deal of music from artists like Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson and of course Hank Williams through the years. My mom had a nice rounded collection of country music on 45's..like Charlie Pride, Kenny Rogers, and my personal favorite..The Tennessee Birdwalk by Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan...with B side of Clock of St. James. And that's what I did.. when I bought music..I would pay attention on what the label the artist was on, who produced the songs, and what studios were used. A lot of the Classic Country records I play today on 1290WIRL..are like a time stamp of my life.
