Daryl Watson, the second half of Wick Trimmer was encouraged to pick up the guitar by an uncle who was a well-known Bluegrass player here in the Texas Panhandle.  He was one of the most phenomenal guitar players he had ever heard.  Daryl was convinced that the guitar was the instrument made for him.  Shortly afterwards his parents signed him up for guitar lessons.  After about a years worth of lessons with a classical guitar player, Daryl was not satisfied and wanted to play his own songs.  Subsequently, He kept falling behind on his assignments and couldn't keep up.  At that point Daryl ventured out on his own and learned to play songs that he made up himself.  Musically speaking, he says he probably had one of the strangest influences one could possibly have. "I was listening to anything from Porter Wagner and Bob Wills to Alice Cooper and David Bowie."  Daryl's musical prowess really never amounted to anything other than his own little creations behind the closed door of his bedroom until he started college.  At that time, he and a friend formed an 80s new wave band called "The Release" which was a cross between U2 and Missing Persons.  In May of 1988, Daryl Watson married the one and only Becky S.  Soon after, they moved to Austin where he pursued Christian music while working for The University of Texas, training chimpanzees.  As Daryl smiles he says, "Laugh all you want, but it was the best job I've ever had."  While they lived in Austin, he played in Christian Heavy Metal band called "Nurse Chapel".  After enduring all the frustrations of trying to keep a band together, Daryl and Becky decided to come back to Amarillo, quit the music business, and returned to graduate school.  From about 1990 to 2000 he didnt even pick up the guitar. It was a "non issue". That all changed when Daryl heard April Pierce (the other half of Wick Trimmer) sing a solo at church a couple of years ago.  During the song, he looked over at his wife and said, "Man that lady can sing...I have got to get hooked up with her"  He did, and the rest is history...Wick Trimmer was born.
