Just a little more about me and love for music.

Just a little more about me and love for music. I am very lucky to have many friends on here that I grew up with though out my life and alot of people ive grown to love here on Facebook /MySpace.From friends ive known since grade school,.........to my god daughters,.....to my very first love.But sometimes I forget that most people don`t really know who Lyle T. really is,so im going to try to some it up as much as I can........Basicly I was born and rasied here in good old Wenatchee Wa.Alot of people would say that it is a place that if you can leave but,its something that you`ll alway come back to. Kinda like a magnet.Wenatchee in set in a Valley with the Columbia river running though it and is between Seattle and Spokane Washington.It have pretty much has most everything anyone would want to do.Great Sking in the winter time and dry hot summers you can soak up the sun and doing anything from boating to hiking though the woods,.....anything to your heart`s whime .There`s also some of the best white water kayaking here.There`s very few places that I could call home then here.Growing up here was great.Loving really a simple life.My family was never by any means rich,but we made by though hard work and making do.My Father was a soul pervider for a family of four,which is amazing even back then for the time and pay wages.We never had cable tv and cut and split fire wood in the fall to heat the house though out the winter ............tell I was in Jr. High School.Kinda seems weird to most but I would never change a thing.It taught me about hard work and disipline.I started play guitar in six or seventh grade.Lucky there was a starter class though the school and it was were I fell in love with music and guitar. It`s something even now and then I put down, it`s something I can never quit.The beautiful thing about guitar is that if you learn say five cords you can play a thousand songs.I spent alot of time reading tab music which is the lame man`s term means to the headstart to reading real music and I developed to play by ear.(for instance "stone sour`s" song "bother"took about 5mins to learn.)I had a break about nine years ago to go to L.a. Cailfornia were my cousin that was a record promoter heard some of my singles of me singing and playing rythem and lead guitar said to get my ass down there with more of a band and I would get signed.Well I tryed to get the best people together that I knew could make things work but the harsh reality and a thing called work and making a living of a dream balanced out to were I had a choice to make and I went with having a roof over my head then living out of a guitar case. It`s kinda the way the ball bounces.Even though out it all I have no regreats.Most people that love play music know that the best way to release anything and everything is though song or playing any kind of a insterment.One of the hardest things is to sing and play.I was lucky enought and blessed to do both.It`s something that if you can......... comes thou your heart and soul,.Kinda a Yin and Yan so to speak.After you have gained that level it`s hard to go back to just hitting a killer power cord or singing in tone.It`s just step`s you cant step backward.About five years ago I had a very bad throut surgury that was really life altering and made me quit playing all together. It took me close to a year and ahalf just to even have a voice.Im not puting this out there to make anyone feel sorry for me or get simapathy or anything because its just life....and life throwing you curves.I really try not to let thing bring me down.I really try to think positive and push though to the next and learn from my own lessons and lessons from others.Right now because to me it feel`s like a life time and it`s been forever but im starting to get it "All" back again.And after many years I could`nt be more happier.And even if my music is limited...it`s still within my reach and my heart.I know alot of people might not understand this altogether but im not writing a book.Im just trying to let you know a little more about me.Best wishes to you all.......... and the only advise I can give is to find that "THING" in your life that makes you, "you" and never give up and always hold it close to your heart because no one can ever take that away from you.And that something.............. that has a place to live forever.
