Instrument: Mouth, Fingers and Unit.

Playing Experience: I started playing with/by myself way before I knew what the long term ramifications
would be. I spent countless hours developing the Grip®.  I realize now that my time was not spent in
vane. My gripping ability is higher now than ever before, giving me great stamina while performing.  
Sometimes I give lessons to friends.  Soon thousands will be using my patented gripping method.   
 

The release of endorphins is immeasurable when I practice.  I practice endlessly.  I practice at work, at
home, in bed, at friends houses and even in the bathroom.   I’ve come to realize that coming to the plate
and coming with great pride in what I do is it’s own reward.  There is really no bad time or place to
practice.  It’s like I always say, when you have a good grip on things, you can accomplish anything.
