MENTORING JOE WOOD IN THE BLUES
BROPHY DALE, GUITARIST - HANK 'HOLLYWOOD'DELUX, DRUMMER
These are the cats that taught me everything I know about playing the blues.
 Spending countless hours with me in the garage, they schooled me in the lates and the greats of this American brand of music, music I wanted to play from the very beginning and long before I toured with TSOL.  I was a blues man in training with Brophy Dale(C) and Hank "Hollywood" Delux, , so many have  mentored me and are the real reason there is a Joe Wood & The Lonely Ones.
