About
Reggie...
Born, raised, and still living in Mount Airy, NC, Reggie's interest
in guitar came early listening to his older brother Larry. At
about the age of eight, he got his first guitar. In his teens,
Reggie along with some of his schoolmates, put together a rock band
that played at dances and parties.
Shortly after graduation, the band
fell apart. After that he pretty much quit playing. On
Reggie's 40th birthday his big brother gave him a Fender Strat copy.
Later on he introduced Reggie to the "blues" with a tape of Eric
Clapton, Albert Collins, and Johnnie Johnson at the Royal Albert
Hall in London. Later on Reggie started listening to a lot of
"bluesmen" like Buddy Guy, B. B. King, Albert King, and Stevie Ray
Vaughan (who had already been killed in a helicopter crash).
That was when Reggie decided that if he could play again it would be
the blues.
As time and practice went on Reggie got a feel for the blues...After
years of trying to put a band together he started trying to figure
out how to put the show on himself. After buying an eight
track digital recorder, drum machine, bass, and learning how to play
the harmonica...the work began!
