My brother, Rodney "Rock," taught me how to play the guitar when I was around 12 years old. Our family gatherings almost always had a jam session before the day ended. I played gospel music in several churches around the area before ever joining a band. The first band was Bobby Dumatrait and I, and we had a lot of fun playing acoustic stuff together. Acoustic music will always be my favorite. Bobby and I joined together with Mark Dore "God Bless Him," who was in a band called Freedom. I played in a few other bands and another acoustic gig with Raymond Hebert and Steve Bonin.... that was a great time! We had a sweet sound going for a quite a while.

I was invited to join Niklbeer in 1990, and while I can't remember the date, I do remember playing with a lot of great people and musicians along the way. To name a few: Bubba Castille, Jon Meloncon, Loula Burton Savoy, Robert Burton, Donny Champeaux, and most of all, Mr. Bobby Price. I thank them all and wish them well.
