No. I went to USF, University of South Florida. Studied with Hilton Kean Jones in Composition.(at one time, Hilton, coordinated the superbowl festivities) I am a fan of Joe Diorio, we met in passing. I didn't meet Morse or Jaco. More favourites of mine. A friend of mine, that built my new bender knows most of the southern rockers in Fl. Fl in certain areas is a gold mine for guitar players. A very tough place to work.
