I have always loved every type of music, and I grew up playing several different instruments.  My dad plays the guitar and my mom is a pianist, so I always like to say that I guess it was in my blood.  Even today I have continued my love for music and I play in a local band on the weekends.  I really love blues guitar, and I was pretty amazed when a guy in the band treated us to the new sound he has been learning: chicken pickin!  It is the totally unique fusion of blues and country and it sounds so cool.
