​My extreme interest in music started in a wilderness camp on several hundred.        acres of forest around thirteen or so,  as three staff members Paul, Jay, and Jim.      would pull out their guitars and play a variety of Grateful Dead, Crosby Stills.        Nash The Band and other popular bands nearly every night at chuck wagon.       

   for all the campers while eating. So I started borrowing  chief Paul's 70's bolt on.     neck Epiphone Acoustic every time I could get my hands on it!  As time went on,       I was persistent about buying this from him. Eventually he agreed and forty.           years later It's still my main custom slide guitar for shows and the studio.             where I record my originals !
