Why this name?
...so they know who to send money to...
Do you play live?
Whenever possible. Especially on gigs where i can be myself "musically". Got any gigs?
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives musicians a way to get heard `round the world without costly distribution. Now getting paid for your music, well it`s getting better all the time.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes.

Prolong not the past
Invite not the future
Alter not your innate wakefulness
Don`t fear appearances
