COOL BREEZE (BRIS CRIDER):
My Grandmother gave me my first harp on my 18 th birthday. It kept me company when I was a surfer dude hitchhiking to California and Florida. In the '80s I played at the grand opening of Jones Country and also won a contest and was recorded on an album. Had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the late great Rusty Weir, Jerry LaCroix of the Boogie kings, Mark CHESTNUTT, Tracy Byrd, Tracy Lawrence, Uncle Lucius. Favorites I get to join occasionally is Scott McGill, Robert Frith, Mike Monroe and Zak Perry. Favorite place these days is HARDHEADS at Crystal Beach. I'm lucky I still get to enjoy my passion.
The first song I learned was Amazing Grace that I have now played at over 50 funerals. It's the most humbling and honorable experience I do.
