At WOH, not only do we grow some of the finest medicine, some of us are also active musicians. It would be nice to gauge everyone's musical taste as I'm sure it differs. I started playing the piano at the young age of 8. My teacher was this old woman Matilda that would make me play all the classical stuff and all I wanted to learn how to play was the intro to Hill Street Blues. Well, I achieved my goal and started to realize that I really had an ear for music.
I then proceeded to the drums by 10 and had mastered some serious rolls and tricks. The beat is what I craved, but as I grew into my teens, the sounds of Metallica, Pearl Jam, and grunge really took over. This is around the time I started catching my first buzz from the urb. Being the hard worker that I was, I saved up all my cash to buy a Fender strat made in mexico, a 20amp Crate (needed a 12" woofer), and various pedals where I would finally get the Digitech RP355.
As I went into my 20's, my musical tastes had slightly changed. I craved more funk and more beats and started DJ'ing. Melding songs together in an electronic musical symphony. It was exciting because of the rush you'd get carry the energy from one song to the next. It was hard to not stop dancing when you just felt the groove and transitioned to something truly inspiring.
I have the best of both worlds in my life. My guitars and my decks. Depending on my mood I switch back and forth and can rock the both of them! Was thinking of even making some tracks soon where I could blend them both. It would be nice to hear other inspiring musical stories from those at WOH. I'll leave you all with something special. Nothing beats a funky bassline with some fender blues. God, I love that sound!!!!!
