My Oun Words: People who support my interest in music are: Brenda Matney,
Jennifer Matney, Kevin Matney, Ronnie, Sherry, and Melissa OsborneEugene
and Cloie Matney. Again, thanks to the fans. I have Thomas Burniston to thank for
my percussion skills. He's the person who taught me structure and the way to enjoy
and write music. The personthat inspired my interest in music was my father, Gary
Matney, who told me, "You can act crazy like that if you put together your own rock
band when you get a little older." He was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1991.
