Salty Rose
What's the story?
Got my first Nylon-Gut String guitar in 1969, and by 1977 I was an active musician, playing my used Vox Cougar bass in local party bands. I’ve witnessed firsthand, many of the changes in the evolution of rock and roll gear over the last 50 years. From the perspective of playing Original Rock, Top-40 Covers, and Blues bar bands.
Sometimes we rocked! But, sometimes…
…the roar of the band was toned down a little. During times spent building houses, raising a family, performing military service, and dealing with the aftermath. During cancer battles, and other struggles that presented... Time was always made, to make music. Nights, weekends, or whenever. As an Artist, Sideman or Creator. Playing garages, bars, festivals, and doing the odd tour... or two.
These days…
...I do original compositions, study jazz at school, and rock at every opportunity with my own band or as a hired gun. Also, in this day and age, I'm blessed to be able to create guitar related content and music. For more of the story, check out my video on this page "Why Play Shows?".
It's a great time to be a guitar player!
Echo's of the past ain't far behind.
