Gary Davis

You can take the boy out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the boy. In 1967 my cousin Charlie Dimare, a kid named Buddy Lee, and I were watching The Monkees at Jimmy Baker's across the street from where we lived. Jimmy's Band was born that day, and my mom bought me my first guitar. A few years later Mickey Jones heard me play Black Bird and he told my step dad to buy me a proper guitar. The rest is history.
