Bludgeon (1987 - 1989)

When I started playing a few gigs my Mom and Dad bought me a nice Randall RH100 and a R412CXM with Jaguar speakers and a Charvel Model 4.  For my classical lessons they bought me a Takamine C132S, both were very nice guitars.

Shortly before entering the US Army I purchased a very nice Les Paul Custom for $500.  I got this $500 because someone crashed into my pickup truck and instead of fixing it I bought this guitar.  My truck was not damaged too much.  I later sold the guitar so I could take my future wife to Las Vegas.  Today it would be worth much more than that trip but the memories of the trip remain priceless.

I traded in my Randall amplifier when I started my studies at Texas A&M university because it would not fit into my apartment.  I got a Marshall VS15 and a nice Fender Telecaster for the trade.

Today I still have the Charvel, Fender and Takamine adding an Epiphone and Washburn to my collection over the years.

I love to play my guitars and it helps me distance myself from work and the world.  I have reached a place where I can feel what I play and improvise with some audio that I have or playing with someone else.  I can play the kind of music that makes me happy when I'm sad or that motivates me when I am feeling down.  There is no substitute for music, it can touch your soul, it can change you and it can change the world.
