A short story of my musical life

I've been a musician ever since I can remember. I got a spanish guitar for my ninth birthday,
and before that, I played the trumpet. I had seen Hendrix on TV and wanted a toy red plastic
electric guitar. Instead, I got a real instrument.

I soon got my first electric, and began playing in bands.
I started gigging and recording early in my youth, and by the time I was in my early twenties,
I was a professional musician. I mainly played in bands, but I also did session work.

In 1998, after months of recording and touring in Scandinavia, I quit my professional career as
a rock musician. For several months, I didn't touch my instruments, I had become disenchanted
with the electric guitar.
My musical batteries soon recharged. Playing my old Dobro resonator guitar,
slowly learning to fingerpick the music that I'd always loved all along - the earliest blues tunes
of Charlie Patton, Booker White, Robert Johnson and several others.
I had dabbled in this style for many years,
now I sat down to learn it, having a great time with the music in the proces.

Being the whole band all by myself has turned out to be a huge source of enjoyment for me.
Digging the driving fingerpicking and big bottleneck sounds of the resonator guitar,
I now play concerts and record again.

Playing this stuff is where it's at.
