Here is a little about Steve in his own words: My dad, Ray, was a great musician who played the guitar and sang along side of my mom and older brother Gary. Every weekend we had people over for singing and tea on the front porch, so I was exposed to music every day. When I turned twelve my dad passed. My oldest brother Gary bought a book that showed guitar chords and started to teach himself to play. Gary forbid me to touch the guitar, but when Gary would go to work on second shift, I would get the book and guitar out.Before long, I taught myself the cords and was playing simple hymns and songs. This started my addiction to music.
