Personal Bio
    Eddie Mace likes to play the guitar...and if you've seen his collection of axes, you'd know why!  Boasting sixteen (yup...16) beauties in his collection, Eddie doesn't let his talents go to waste!  And anyone who knows him, knows he wails!  As Number Nine's lead guitarist (the tall one), Eddie also plays the Corrisedin bottle slide and is quite talented on the Ab harmonica.  He describes himself as "nice, easy going and tall" and considers himself to be a "Beatle and brew warrior," especially around his fellow band mates.  His favorite Beatles songs include "And Your Bird Can Sing," "Blackbird," "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" and "Polythene Pam"...quite a diverse list!  What's his philosophy?  "You can't teach a duck to catch mice."  But on a more serious note, Ed claims that "commitment, dedication, discipline and action will breed results in any endeavor...even in our Number Nine!"  And just what would Mr. Mace be doing if Number Nine didn't exist?  "I'd be talking to Tom and John about getting a band together, unless they kicked me out...or playing the Taylor 12-string at home in the basement a lot, looking at my guitars and amps in the spare bedroom closet...and I'd have more energy on Sundays!"  His list of favorite performers includes: James Taylor, Ricky Scaggs, Danny Gatton, Allman Brothers, Brooks & Dunn, Leroy Parnell, Tom Petty and Eric Johnson.  But compared to the other guys in the band, Ed considers himself to be a casual Beatles fan.  As a matter of fact, his son, Erich, usually helps him learn his parts to Beatles songs!
