If I mention the name “FLYBAR”, you might not readily know it, but if I mention the name “POGO STICK”, everyone knows that! Well, Flybar is the manufacturer of the original Pogo Stick that was first made in 1918, 100 years ago. Wow that was a long time ago! As much fun as it might be, the Pogo Stick was just the begin. They make a lot of cool, interactive products designed to teach balance, and agility while still having fun. They have lots of stuff like stilts, trampolines, and skateboards. They are also pioneering some unique products that you won’t find anywhere else. You can visit their website by clicking this link: Flybar.
I Started out in 1976 trying out to sing in bands but no bands were interested in me. In 1977 I started playing guitar. The individual that was teaching me (who for now will remain anonymous) told me that I would NEVER learn how to play guitar because I had no sense of rhythm. I joined my first band in 1978 called "Dead Center" in Jacksonville, Florida. I played an Aspen guitar, black; a Les Paul copy and in 1981. I gave that guitar to the teacher who said I'd never learn to play. I wrote my first song in 1979 or '80. Over the years I have been in many bands but my passion has been songwriting. I have written well over 100 songs and though the early ones were kind of rough around the edges, I think that most of them could be dusted off and given a new facelift. Today I am still working on my songs. Currently I can play guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, harmonica, and Native American flute. The flutes that I play are ones that I made myself. My guitars are the Epiphone G-400 faded, an Ibanez RG370 DX, an Epiphone G 1275 double neck guitar. My acoustic guitars are an Alvarez 12 string and an old Kay guitar. My drum set is a Peace drum set. I do my recording on a Zoom HD16.
