Well I just cracked open a cold one and thought hey why not now.....

First off and foremost my first name is Jon... friends call me Drew... Dads name is John... Mr John's Son. Had to explain that one, you can only imagine the implications of a nick like Mrjonson.

History hmmmmm sucked at it real bad but as memory serves... I was born in the megatroplois of Paulding Ohio back in the grand ol year of nineteen hundred and seventy. Moved all over the states growing up, Texas, Cali, Ill, Oh, Penn, Ind ( yes even Indiana ),virginia.... quite a few places.

Went to collage after highschool at the Art Institute of Pitt. Holy cow man.... my first guitar.. what a babe, still have her. Anyway i degress.

Partied my living and sometimes dying arse off, a little to interested in all the sex,drugs, and crapy rock in roll of the 80's and early 90's to care to much about the buitiful goddess i had recived in collage.

Cleaned my act up and spent 4 years in the UNITED STATES COAST GUARD. I say that loud because I am PROUD to have served with all the incredable and young people doing so much for so little.... Bless you all and a safe return home.

I did search and rescue and shore patrols, then i was on an ice breaker for a while ( not much room on a ship for a guitar )

I married the most wonderful woman in 1992 and still married after 13 plus years with a couple kids, it's all a cool thing. She ( brenda ) bought me an Alvereze 12 string our first christmas and when i was home on liberty i would put my wife through hell with these horrid choppy nasty songs... oh god i sucked... poor woman.

Well after getting out ( of the military ) i went into maintenance. Nothin glorious just a damn good field to be in. Worked my way upto process engineer at a Lazer weld shop, and I taught at a Vocational school for a couple years.

All that time i kept playing that 12 string and really enjoyed the sounds of speedy fast hard playin. GOD I LOVE IT.

Been in some bands, not much to talk about there, been in a lot of different types. Learned stage performance with them and how not to act.

Lets see i think im done now. Beers gone, cant smoke in the house and i want a smoke so......

Peace to everyone stop out and catch a show sometime, Im out there playing my ass off for everyone, its agood time, say hey peace man.

Oh yeah Acoustic Folkin' Blues Baby, Livin large

Peace

Munger
