This Friday I am featuring Jonny Lang who is a blues singer and writer and guitarist. Jonny Lang is of Norwegian descent and was born in Fargo, North Dakota, United States.[He started playing the guitar at the age of 12. He got his start playing guitar for his friends on the Vallagers' porch at their lake place. He would play everything from modern hits to the classics, even performing an astounding rendition of Jimi Hendrix's take on the National Anthem. Soon after his father took him to see the Bad Medicine Blues Band, one of the few blues bands in Fargo, Lang started taking guitar lessons from Ted Larsen, the band's guitar player. Several months after Lang began, he joined the band, which was then renamed Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang.

Peatle Jville than you. I Iwould like it if he went but I kind of doubt he know what  the inside of a gym looks like.   He actually started on drums and then switched to guitar and he is considered good on guitar and his singing is very good too.
