Todd Mansell
Todd begged his mom to buy him his first guitar when he was 12. After two years of lessons, he joined his first band when he was 15. Music remained an important factor all through his teens and in his twenties he began his foray into multi-track recording, a passion that remains today. Musically, Todd's main influences are all things "Beatle", most notably Paul McCartney, and artists such as Brian Wilson and Billy Joel. In his CD player you'll often find a variety of old jazz standards, guitar instrumentals, classical, country and pop.
Ed Cruse
Ed has been involved with music since birth, showing a great interest in his mother's lullabies and the radio. He took guitar lessons at the age of 13 but when the theory proved to be too much, he put the instrument down for a few years. It was Ed's keen ear for music that allowed him to pick up songs easily and gain
back interest in the guitar. Since making this wise decision, you can see him play ing around campfires and at family and friends functions. He has played in various bands throughout the past forty years.
