Yeah, I've been playing Guitar now for over 30 years. I teach Guitar full time and have done so for around 22 years. Did a lot of touring back in the day as well... I've been fortunate to be able make a living at Guitar for most of my life. It's what I do. :-)

It happens that I love pig pickin, sweet tea and grits and sausage biscuits and I am originally from NJ, but some years ago. I came here for these very things you mentioned and the great people. I do ride Durham on occasion as well.
I would love to go to a club party and ride with locals. It would be my honor!
I think most of the people are very friendly. There will always be a couple here and there in every state that have their own direction they like to walk in and that's fine by me. Most everyone I have ever dealt with in the south are great people and I have been here since '86.

Default Carolina Classic Car Show

The Classics At The Capital Car Show will be held two weeks from now on August 17-18. Why am I posting about this?

Well, my band is going to be playing on Saturday, Aug 18, from 1pm - 5pm. We did the Car Show last year and they hired us to do the gig again this year.

Basically, they close off Fayetteville Steet from the capital going south and have all the cars on display on that street. The stage will be set up somewhere on the street.

If you like Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Blues and Gospel, come on down and check us out. I'll be the tall guy playing guitar and keyboards. If you do get a chance to come out, be sure to stop by the stage and say Hi!

BTW...here's a link for more information....

Just checking in as I'm on my return trip from Sturgis. Logged a little over 3600 miles with another 1000 to go. Great time, as this was my first solo trip!
