BIOGRAPHY
Weathersby spent his early years in Meadville, Mississippi, a place he
still considers home, although when he was aged eight, his family moved to
East Chicago, Indiana.
As a teenager, Weathersby began to learn to play the guitar. One day,
after practicing "Cross Cut Saw" many times through, he decided to show
his father. After he finished playing it, his father's friend, a man
Weathersby knew as Albert, the diesel mechanic, said, "Man, that ain't
the way that song goes, that ain't the way I played it." The mechanic
turned out to be Albert King, who then showed Weathersby how to play it.
Despite Weathersby's mistake, King was impressed and eventually hired
Weathersby to play rhythm guitar with him on tour.
However, his career as musician started many years later. Before then,
Weathersby worked many jobs, ranging from steel mill worker to prison
guard to police officer. He also served in the U.S. Army from 1971 to
1977, during the Vietnam War.....
