DREW PRESTON

Hello everyone. Welcome to my page. I started playing guitar when I was about 11. My first song I learned was down by the river, Neil Young. Hey, Everyone has a starting point. anyway, Neils cool. I Played in various rock bands in New York during my teens.Mostly not realizing just how good I was. that I would have loved to do this the rest of my life and move in that direction at a young age. I didn't have that drive or confidence back then. Oh, To be young again!. You see, I knew and hung out with some great players after I got out of college and I would compare myself to them. Of coarse, I could never measure up.It seemed I was always a day late and a dollar short.
But that was then, and this is now.And I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Today I enjoy playing when I can and of coarse I still love to write. I am in a dry spell right now. but that will change. So now the focus is on playing as much as I can. With the economy the way it is, I hope there will be places to play!
A couple of these songs on this page are from a few years back when my friend Owen was going through a terrible divorce.
I guess you could say there is a little bit of my own personal shit in there too. I had gone through my own divorce a couple years earlier.
At the time I really was just writing lyrics from what he was telling me over the phone late at night when he couldn't sleep!. Hey, my bro was going through some major shit and I had to be there for him, I wanted to because he was there for me. Thats how it works!
So yeah, you could say he spewed his turmoil, anguish and frustration and living fucking nightmare in one ear and I let it come out through "Fight of my Life" and "Lonely". Walked Away and Whore of Satan were also inspired from the pain of Divorce. "FIGHT OF MY LIFE" cracks me up! (Sounds a little like Zappa, ya think he would be proud?) There is life after divorce.
