Please begin by telling us anything you would like to about yourself. Age, place of birth, residence, etc.
Hello, everyone!! Well for starters my name is Clint. I am 31 years young and I live in Amarillo, TX. (Yes…another Texan, woohoo!!!) I was born in a smaller town about 50 miles south of Amarillo, called Hereford. (Yes, Hereford; as in the maroon and white cow –sigh-.) So I am actually a small town boy. I have lived in California, Oklahoma and Florida, (the Orlando area for the Floridians in here.) My stint in California was in San Diego and the Camp Pendleton area… that’s right, Marine Corp., baby!! Oorah!! I was in the service for a short period of time. I was discharged early due to tearing up my right leg in Camp Pendleton. But I am still a very proud supporter of our service members. Semper Fi. I am happily married to my second wife and between the two of us we have 5 kids total. Their ages range from 10 down to 4, and I love all my kids as equals. No “step” in any of my kids. I also have 5 dogs, two cats and 18 chickens. READ MORE>>>

Great interview! And Ole Roy is looking good these days.

Nice interview, Clint
You said you had 1:30 minute's of lesson's, did you stop taking them or is that "so far" ?
I like your thoughts about playing in a lobby instead of elevator music. It made me think of playing in an elevator. Only problem is the only elevators here are hay elevators. Maybe the cows will love it.
Nce to meet you Clint.

Thanks everyone. Sorry i have been gone so long. been a busy last few weeks. New Semester of College, new Violin Lessons, work, 5 kids...yea. Been busy. I appreciate the kind words from everyone.
@ Dennis... I have no idea what you are talking about. I have never spit a beer on my computer. (maybe two or three an evening when I engage you and Toni in conversation, but never A beer!!!)
@Toni... thank you. I was hoping that was what everone got out of this. 
@ Fred... I loved Cali, it was great weather. But on Camp Pendleton in early February was not very nice. I was doing the Crucible and it was cold as heck up there. lol

That is "so far." I am still taking classes, but at the time of the writing I only had an hour and a half of lessons.

As soon as my daughter brings her violin home I plan to make some videos. She was suppose to bring hers home from school last week, but I think it'll be this week before she does. I am really excited for her.

I can whistle really well.
That what i'm trying to do quite often - whistle! But that one is an untunable instrument 
Thank You kindly for the interview!
