I have rocked-out all over this blessed country of ours and enjoyed playing bass for over 12 years. I have a Phd. in 'the school of Hard Rock & Hard Knocks'. I've seen, done and experienced the good, the bad and the ugly of being in a band trying to make in the music business and industry. The nitty gritty. Everything AC/DC talked about in the song 'It's a long way to the top (if ya wanna rock'n'roll)'.
