I moved in with my Grandma and Butch about 3 years ago and I hadn't been doing much of anything musically so Butch and I started playing guitars together. I started getting into the oldies and old country. I figured out that I needed to play songs that people wanted to hear.
A while after my best friend luke died in a car accident (Martys son) who used to be mine and Ryan Jacobsons bass player, I started talking with Marty and practicing at his house with him. Marty was still playing with Slim and the Fatcats. Butch and I were out in the garage one night and he asked why I didn't sing? So I started singing by myself. Marty asked if i would like to play at Heather's as a fill in on their breaks. Shortley after, I asked my friend Shannon (guitar player) if he wanted to play guitars sometime. So we started learning lots of songs together. We played a couple times for Marty and shortly after Marty stopped playing all together. Shannon and I decided we werent going to stop and I called my old drummer, and Butche's son John (bass player) and started making the band.
Butch had a couple parties over the summer and Marty would come over and play with the band. We realized we needed Marty to join because he taught us a lot and made us sound so much better. It took us awhile but soon after we had our first gig at Heathers. Butch is the reason why i started playing again and he and my Grandma are big supporters of the band. Even though Butch isn't actually in the band, we still have him up to play. I owe a lot to butch for the support and everything else that he has done. I just wanted to tell you the real story about mr. breeze.
thanks again
