biography
Hey, I'm Rob Mazurek out of Winnipeg,Manitoba,Canada. I've been in love with music since the age of 6 yrs old when I first started playing guitar really. (well at that point it was more like just driving my family crazy with a whole bunch of string noise,until I actually learned some chords on the guitar) Some of my favorite Country artists include Brooks and Dunn.Big and Rich, Johnny Cash of course !, Tobey Keith, etc.
I play all types of music really from Rock to country, but when at home I enjoy listening/watching CMT the most. So many great artists,Great songs and great videos !
anyway, after I learned some basic chords..later on in life I decided to take music lessons so I joined up a local music school and took lessons for about 5 years..because up until then I played everything by ear,but never knew what those funny things with the black dots and flags were , well I knew they were musical notes..but didnt know what the heck they meant to me/how to read them.
After all those years of lessons...I still prefer to play by ear and just improvise, but the lessons helped me understand scale patterns throughout the neck of the guitar, and that was worth it alone.
I have a music page on myspace as well, so if you get a chance feel free to visit my page, add me as a friend and leave me a comment if youd like. I always return every e-mail /comment I recieve ... even if it takes me a day or two sometimes. My page is at www.myspace.com/rmazurek
I plan on hopefully geting enough material together this year to throw a CD together (if I can come up with enough music Im happy with personally that is)
I have always been a huge western movie Buff, Big Fan of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood pictures,Jimmy Stewart was always a favorite actor as well. So I have a few songs fashoned after the old Gunfighter movies of the old west. Hope you like 'em !!
Some quick facts about me :
Born in Winnipeg,Manitoba,Canada..Still Reside here, Have 3 great kids who I share custody with my Ex. I stand 6'6" Tall and in cowboy boots more like 6'8 or 6'9" ....lol ! (and yes,sometimes I forget to duck when walking in doorsways..always a great way to make first impressions when meeting new people huh ?...lol)
In my Spare time- I enjoy heading out to the range and doing some target shooting (Both pistol and rifle) I'm big on peoples rights to own/enjoy firearms for sporting use (and for defence -although technically they frown on that up here-NO CCW 's in Canada) and have been a long time NRA supporter.
I guess you could say if I were a US Citizen I'd be a very strong Republican voter. (and would love to see Ted Nugent run for President..just to watch the Democrats in Washington, swarm to the media in a frenzied protest ! .lol)
