Bio

Richard Becker, born Theodore Edwin Wright III in the middle of the Australian Outback to an Aboriginal mother and a three eyed African American father, saw music as his way out of the sand dunes of Australia. At an early age he attended the local aboriginal drum sessions, and listened to those cool australian rythms flow. This early musical experience instilled in him a good rhythm and a penchant for musical experimentation.

He received his first guitar at the age of 7 when he discovered it in a dead kangaroo's pouch on one of his tribe's annual hunts. He was hit in the head by a stone from a sling. with This wound being of a serious nature, his tribe prayed for months that the earth gods would suck him up and transfer him to America. Suddenly, missionaries came upon the tribe. Seing that young Richard was injured, they whisked him away to Riley's Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. There he received proper medical treatment.

While recovering, the boy rediscovered his guitar, broken. Using the hospital jello, the boy fused his broken guitar, creating a mighty axe, which he dubbed "Toca Ludwig." He still plays guitar to this day. If you could read this, you don't need glasses.
