Woody's Information

Gospel, "classic" rock and country music are my preferred styles of music.

After retiring from a successful career as a senior computer/telephony software engineer (Unix/Linux/Apps),

I teamed with my wife to travel internationally, teaching computer/telephony engineering and certification classes.

These days I keep busy with my amateur (ham) radio hobby (first FCC licensed at age 11), working with US Air Force MARS communications (after 23-years with US Army MARS communications), teaching theology and working around our ranch.

I have been a member of the "Sons Of The American Revolution" (S.A.R.), as well.

When I was 9-years old, my cousin gave me his Sears Silvertone acoustic guitar and that was the start of my adventure, first learning "Elenore Rigby" (by the Beatles, of course).
My first electric guitar was a used 1959 Danelectro DC-1 (3011) that I converted to a six-string bass.
My first rock band, Zebula, came along when I was in seventh-grade in 1967.

With extensive lessons, I was a drummer from 7th grade through college. in both marching and symphonic bands. 

I've owned full Slingerland/Zildjian and Roland eDrum kits.

Then there are my guitars: by Gibson, Heritage. Fender and Guild.

All top end resources to play both off and on stage.

I also own and (rarely) play banjo and mandolin.
