Open Mic Night :)

Pres started playing guitar at open mic night down town Buena Vista, where we live. It just started to be something fun we would do but has turned into something more meaningful than that. Now, he has a bunch of friends that play with him and he is always scheduled to play at "Frank's for the the Memories" where open mic night is.

Pres became good friends with a guy named Ed. Ed is the coolest person we have ever met. He has a musical background that goes way back when. He use to play for big artists and toured with Incubus. He has owned his own music store as well in Florida. After being involved with music he decided to get in the Army and was deployed to Iraq. In Iraq he got diagnosed with bone cancer. After coming home in a wheel chair he got surgrey, and is now going out and being active. He and Pres have been playing together for the last 3 months. He is one of the most moving people that we have ever met and has such a touching story. His music tells his whole story because when he plays, it all comes from his heart. He can play almost anything and moves me ever time he does.
