Welcome to Music with Mackie

Hi!  My name is Cameron Lister, but everyone knows me as “Mackie”.  A native of Loxley, Al., I have lived in South Alabama all my life.  Music is my passion.  My first instrument was the mandolin, which was given to me on my 11th birthday.  Over the years I was blessed to enjoy the tutorship and mentoring of older and experienced musicians on a regular basis.  I took lessons from “Top Hat”, of “Top Hat and Jackie”, and at Pickers Paradise in Stapleton Alabama. I also won a scholarship from “Musicians For Music” for guitar lessons at 12 yrs of age.  Since the mandolin, I have progressed on to guitar, bass, drums, and fiddle.  Lead guitar is my greatest love.  I gain the utmost satisfaction and enjoyment out of helping others to discover the inspirations and pleasure that music can be in one’s life.

Because I work other jobs, I may not be available when you are doing lessons, but you can always reach me by email.
