Steve Mayo – AK: Mr. Three Chord, The Three Chord Wonder, Bob Steve Mayo Dylan
Guitar, Vocals and Song Writer
Steve couldn’t help but be a musician seeing how is Grandpa Ed Mayo was the house fiddle player for the Grand Old Opera, his Dad played all over central Florida and it was rumored that Clyde left a guitar in all the bars he frequented, just in case they ask him to play. Steve’s sister and her husband still own the family bar (The Fox Head) in central Florida and have been playing music for over 30 years. Steve’s motto is, “there’s not a song written yesterday or today, that can’t be played with G, C and D chords”. We often look at Steve and call him the runt of the music litter, even though he is the oldest.
Steve started playing guitar and singing at age 18 when he started college. When we asked him why he started then, he simply said “To catch Women”.
Steve says his three main influences for his playing style are Bob Dylan, John Denver and Jimmy Buffett. We all suspect that he might have a lot of other influences, but that is a whole different story.
His main accomplishments that he has enjoyed through playing music are: meeting lots of women met a lot of different people over his life and being on stage with Janis Joplin in 1969 just shortly before she died, was on stage with Mary Wilson from the Supremes.
When asked where his music was going he simply said “South”
Steve says that music is a Hobby that he can enjoy by himself or with others. It’s something that he doesn’t need anybody’s approval and he can experience “Total Escape” through his playing
