MY NAME IS RONNIE DAVIS, I AM A LIFETIME FLORIDIAN. I WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA. I STARTED MESSING WITH THE GUITAR WHEN I WAS ABOUT 9 OR 10 YEARS OLD. I LEARNED A FEW CHORDS FROM MY UNCLE, ELVER SMITH, BUT WAS TOO BASHFUL TO LET HIM KNOW I HAD A DESIRE TO LEARN TO PLAY THE GUITAR, HE PASSED AWAY IN SEPTEMBER 1994, AND IN ABOUT 2000, I STARTED PICKING UP LITTLE BITS FROM OTHER PEOPLE I WAS HANGING AROUND WITH. THEN IN 2004, A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE GOT ME TO OPEN UP AND PLAY AND SING WITH HIM, AND AFTER THAT IT HAS GROWN TO WHERE IT IS TODAY. Then I joined the North Florida Bluegrass Association, and started meeting lots of people. I PLAY AND ASSOCIATE WITH SOME VERY TALENTED PEOPLE, (HOPING SOME OF IT WILL RUB OFF ON ME) AND THE FOLKS I HAVE MET OUT PLAYING THE DIFFERENT PLACES STILL AMAZES ME TO THIS DAY. I NEVER THOUGHT THERE WOULD COME A DAY THAT I GOT UP ON STAGE, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL, AND SING AND PLAY IN FRONT OF REAL PEOPLE. I HAVE MET SOME VERY GOOD, TRUE FRIENDS, AND YOU DON'T GET MANY CHANCES LIKE THAT NOW A DAYS. I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY ON MY PAGE.
