I chose to adopt the stage-name, "Scruffy Eagle", because it has spiritual meaning for me; an acknowledgment of the eagle which came to visit.

Yes, I play live. I love it! It's usually at the LVD Casino, sitting in with bands. Re. special moments - it's always a special moment, when it happens.

The internet is just part of our evolution as a species and as a society. It will change everything for us, because we are changing. I believe it will lead to a return to the historical norm re. income for musicians - live performances will again become the primary avenue of income.

Sure! I wouldn't even make them suck up to me (very much),... No, seriously, folks: It would depend on the details of the contract.

Not much to say, yet. Still emerging from the shell I've spent so many years rolling around in. I'm gradually making a stash of recordings, of various songs I've made through the years. I'm filing them into "collections" named: "Ex-Father's Lament", "Havva Slice - Uh, Life", "Beat My Nick", and "Scruffy Remakes". At some point, I'll be making full CD's available, as given collections hit critical mass.

I guess my biggest musical influences would be The Beatles, followed closely by Neil Young, and a whole slew of Motown artists. Add a cascade of multitudinous other influences from a wide variety of musical genres, and you get idea of what's influenced my musical development.

"There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home."

Whatever the moment & my current partner(s) need the most - which, usually, is just me, my wonderful hands, that big old slinky thing (guitar), and those 2 pounding rhytmic accessories (bongos).

I think it's either a gross oversight or a political cop-out maneuver, that virtually all the software & services around don't allow or include "Protest" as an option when entering musical genre. There are several songs I've done, which would fall into that category - IF it wasn't being suppressed.
