Interview:
1. Hi John! I'm really happy you agreed to this interview. I would like to ask you first what can you tell me about the start of your music carrier. When did you first pick up the guitar and what was some of the early influences you had?
I was 8 years old and ask parents for an accordian...couldn’t afford one, so got me a guitar....a les paul junior for $149 worth $ 30'000 today....but I had to trade it for the bright red one.....stupid if I got the accordian I’d be playing electric barmitzfas !!

In junior hi and hi school I had a very successful teen band called " the Barons ".... at 16 had bad acid trip, walking around ft. worth, walked into a studio, recorded two songs " plastic windows "..." the life of john doe "...produced by T-bone Burnett who today is #1 producer in Hollywood....
