THIS IS ABOUT ME,,,

I hope this will answer a few questions any of you may have about me. I was born in Madrid, Spain on January, 20, 1965. My Father was in the USAF at the time. My Mother left him not long after I arrived and moved back to Texas. Ive grown up in Texas and Louisiana. I now live in Victoria, Texas and work in the oilfield as an assistant manager on 24hr call. Ive been lucky to remain with a very good company for 23 years.
Im a musician at heart. My first exposure to music was in church as a child. I sang in the choir or with my brothers on many occasions.
At about 13 years of age, I began to take interest in guitar. Im sure it had something to do with seeing JIMI Hendrix on T.V. That and Roy Clark on Hee Haw! My first axe was an acoustic from Navratil Music in Victoria. I learned a lot on it and took night jobs to pay for my first electric. In 1980 I bought a Gibson Sonex 180-custom. I still play it to this day. No guitar since can do what it can.
My first amp was a Sunn 150watt combo with a single 15 speaker. I played it for years until it finally blew up.
These days I spend as much time as I can recording my own music. I wish I could spend all of my time doing that.
I play guitar, keyboards, drum machine, bass (guitar thru a synth{s}), and sing (though my voice aint what it used to be). I write all my own lyrics and do all my own packaging of my cdr.

I was married for too many years to the wrong person and have been divorced now for not enough years. Eight years ago I met Glenda. She has become my muse. She cooks and cleans better than any one I know and together we raise her Daughter Daisy.
Glenda and I Have 8 long years together. Shes strong willed and also the main force driving me to have fun every day. Before she came my house was Spartan in accommodations. Now it glows with what shes done to almost every room. The studio however, is till all mine.
I play thru a crate stack and a peavey heritage 212 combo with a Marshall 4X12 cab extension. My rig puts out 560 watts. My floor pedal is a BOSS GT-6 that gives me unlimited tonal possibilities. My guitars are the Gibson sonex 180-custom, an Ibanez rgx with Floyd rose and locking nut, a Johnson fat-body electric jazz (loaned to KAMA Linden for a mini tour in Texas). (Shes from New York), and a BC RICH BICH. I also have a blue A.J. Reynolds acoustic. The keyboard I use is a standard GE model from Radio Shack. And my studio and drum machine are both from BOSS. I also use a headphone amp from Samson and AKG, Sennisheiser, and Sony headphones.
I have appeared on 3 volumes of A.O.G.MEDIAS, COMPILATION series #s 5 and 6 and Volume #7. My four cds currently available thru cdbaby.com are; NOBODY WINS!!!! ; SCREAMING WITH MY EYES ; and, DEATH AND DECAY ; and, PAINT BY THUNDERS-2006. The 5th, ALLOYS OF EMOTION, is due to be released in February of this year.
The style of my music can be described as guitar rock/metal/progressive rock, but I try to be as expressive as I can and try many different ideas while I record.

My main website is legasyssongs.com. Ive had thousands of visitors from all over the world and the hits there have been on the rise from the beginning. If you visit, please sign my guestbook! I like to hear from visitors like you. Youll also find many pics there of me, my art, my famillia, and my equipment. If you go for the tunes, there are samples from every one of my cds as well as a few entire songs. Dont be afraid of the buy button, its not binding. It just takes you to the cdbaby page where you can sample the same tunes. If you dont like mine, feel free to browse around all the genres, theres a lot of music there thats better than whats in the mainstream. Its unclouded by big money.
Well, thats me (in a walnut-shell).
til next time,
KEEP IT LOUD!!! KEEP IT PROUD!!! AND KEEP PUSHING BACK THE CLOUDS!!!!
