Military family. I was born in LaRochelle, France. I was a fireman for 16 yrs. & am a Disabled Veteran. I am now a full time musician/ singer/ songwriter. I started playing in nightclubs at age 16. I have played music over much of this planet. My 1st. site started with MySpace under: Gary Alan Adkins This has turned into my home site. In my younger days I only played guitar & trumpet. My other band mates didn't know I could sing or write music. I just enjoyed playing my guitar & staying in the background. I have been writing music for many years. With the addition of the net. I decided to share my music with the world. I love the outdoors. I am married & have 2 grown children. I am a U.S. Patriot & I strongly believe in the original U.S.Constitution. NEVER GIVE UP! GA
