I then meandered listlessly through early nineties radio not really finding anything i liked. i had heard the dave matthews band and i liked some of their music at first, but then it got way overplayed and stopped liking them until i was introduce to my first non radio dave song two step, then i was hooked. So i guess it goes...

don't hate the police, those guys are amazing musicians...dave liked them, his playing has been influenced by them a lot.

...Just to name a few. I'd say I have a pretty broad musical spectrum. From flamenco to classical guitar to classic rock to heavy metal. Some names up there are local bands. By local I mean started here in the Live Music Capitol of the World - Austin, TX - Over 300 live music shows a night! What a town
