History
	In 1989, I was looking at close to life in prison, sitting in a Federal cell in the mountains of PA, out in the middle of nowhere. I’d always loved music and wanted to learn how to play guitar but could never seem to find the time when I was out on the streets. Now I had all the time in the world. I started the process of self-teaching myself the guitar. I started teaching myself when I was in Lewisburg Federal Correctional Institute, and continued playing for hours every day until my fingers would bleed.
I’d written lots of songs over the years and really had hoped to be able to play them with other musicians. As luck would have it, I ended up sharing space with some other inmates that enjoyed playing and expressing themselves through their music too. Then out of nowhere, the system let us have our own tracking systems in. It was a great opportunity because the people I was playing with had learned a lot of the songs I had written. About that time, to our surprise, tracking systems were actually allowed in. We recorded 15 of the songs I had written.
Recent Info
The songs were taken to a professional studio, and with the advanced equipment and some tweaking a CD emerged. It’s name = The Last Ride Home, by Deadly Synz It was hard, but it was meant to be, the obstacles were tremendous. Writing songs comes easy to me, getting my hands on a guitar is the hard thing. Being self-taught for 15+ years, it’s funny the only people I’ve ever been able to play for are prisoners at prison shows. My music is of prison life and memories of life on the streets. Some of the music, you can hear the pain, but there’s so much feeling, of what was before, and what could be tomorrow..........
