I had started um I'm from a small town
0:02
where there really wasn't a whole lot of
0:04
like a local band scene growing up. Um
0:07
so I mean I started with I would sit in
0:09
with like my dad's bands where we played
0:11
in a bunch of different tribute bands
0:12
and cover bands. Um and I started doing
0:15
that when I was like I would do some
0:17
like things here and there starting when
0:18
I was like seven and then by the time I
0:21
was like 13 it would be like sneaking in
0:23
to play the bars and uh that sort of
0:25
deal and then starting to jam with you
0:27
know friends in high school and all
0:28
that. Um, so that was really my
0:31
introduction into starting to play live.
0:33
Um, and at the same time it was because
0:35
there really wasn't a whole whole lot of
0:37
like a young rock scene. Um, I started
0:40
playing like you know guitar in like
0:42
school jazz bands and then I started
0:44
sitting in even for like um accompanying
0:46
like choirs and stuff just to get the
0:48
playing experience. And I'm one of those
0:50
things I'm so glad I did it looking back
0:53
where it got me exposed to so many
0:55
different styles um and learning to like
0:57
you know be pretty quick with reading
0:59
charts and working with different types
1:01
of groups and um definitely something
1:03
that expanded my horizons for Oh. Oh.
