I am Larry McGahey and lately have been doing instrumentals that feature the electric guitar backed by the Bugs or Snow Band. In the past I have played in a variety of bands, duos etc. including Renaissance Fair. If you have ever heard 'In Wyrd' that is my Gibson SG the first time I played it.Band/artist history
I wished I had a guitar when I was 8 years old so a very nice man named Ernie Messer let me borrow one of his Gibsons. Then my mother took me to Atkinson's Music Store to see if my fingers were long enough for lessons and my Mom and Dad got me a 3/4 size Harmony. When I never practiced my lessons my Father told my Mother not to take me to have my toes measured for dancing lessons.Have you performed in front of an audience?I played live for years all over da UP and the US mid-west now I would rather stay home and look for change in my couch. After the kids have been here I look there for the remotes as well. The special moments would be the times we were paid the amount we originally agreed upon.

I can't play, sing or write like any of these people but they are a few of the artists I have listened to over the years.
