biography
Rene Guylline - "one-piece-band"
More than 50 years on stage!...
Hi! I don't want to bother you with my musical "bio" from 1954 till 1993 - Therefore you're kindly invited to visit my official site (see "LINKS")
But from 1993 I got "stung" by the country music bug.
In 1993 I did a "reunion-concert" with some ol' time 'ROPES' - my former band - for the fun of it, and after so many years we played our old AWARD-SONG, Burl Ives' "A LITTLE BITTY TEAR LET ME DOWN" again…
That did it! After thorough dusting off my guitar (LOL), I fell in love with some nice classics of COUNTRY MUSIC. Each month I played my songs at THE WICHITA C.C. at Meulebeke (Flanders) as a ONE MAN BAND for a complete new kind of audience that really was passionate by a new hype: "Country and Line dance".
In 1997, I released my first country/linedance full CD (Something Old, Something New) and added up a lot of Country & western clubs, as well as other great places to my gig adresses! (PS/Thanks for having me guys!!!)
As from 2000 more and more new LINE DANCE SONGS were added to the repertoire, along with good old varied COUNTRY, COUNTRY ROCK, BALLADS, OLDIES and many requests.
End 2001: A New LIVE full CD was born featuring my new trio…. -"The ROPES" of course, - with my oldest son David on drums and bass-lines, and Jan Miller on keyboards. However the trio was not granted to last long because of ......
July 2002: A black page… Someone seemed to call me for "the eternal hunting grounds"… but I thanked provisionally!
2003: Recovered from a heavy medical intervention and an absence of 6 months, I was back, alive and kickin’ as a "one-piece-band and a six-string"!
2006: This is the year that I celebrate my "50 years on stage", and at the same time I'm recording some LIVE-takes of OWN written’ songs to be released on a new CD "Over the Hill" somewhere this same year!!! (Meanwhile OUT !!!!!)
