New guy here from Irving (soon to be the former home of the Dallas Cowboys) Texas!
I've been involved with music all of my life. Both parents, 6 brothers, and 2 sisters were all involved in music in one form or another...and I'm the youngest. Having been born in the Philippines and emigrating to the U.S. in 1977, I've been exposed to most types of music.
Although I think I'm a pretty accomplished guitar player, I also realize living in Texas has better guitar players than I can ever hope to be...which is why I decided to pick up the bass guitar.
Now there are great bass players around here too, but I've found many people DO like the "in the pocket" style I play.
Howdy y'all...
