Currently in the Salt Lake area; formerly Reno and Santa Cruz... Guitar, pedal steel, dobro, mandolin, bass, keyboards, and vocals; sometimes in a band "with friends" or sometimes alone as a solo act. Original music, sort of a miz between Bruce Hornsby without the piano and Tom Petty without the whine.
Why this name?
It chose me; that's my real name.
Do you play live?
"Live" is rather open to debate...The most special moment is waking up after a two-month tour and discovering you can still chew gum and walk.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Today, everything is accessible; in my day, we didn't have MP3 or MTV; we had to take drugs and go to concerts.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Major, non-major, any label will do.
Band History:
On the road all over the USA for the enitre decade of the 70's playing pedal steel. As a solo act mostly in the Bay Area and Reno in the 80's and 90's. Now in the Salt Lake area.
Your influences?
Mark Knopfler, Gram Parsons, Bruce Horsnby, Gene Clark, The Flying Burrito Brothers, the Byrds, The Notting Hillbillies, Runrig
Favorite spot?
Paris; no other city comes close. Aside from there, anywhere in Scotland is just fine.
Equipment used:
Same stuff I've used for years; other than that, whatever works.
Anything else...?
Any fool can make noise; what really matters is melody and lyrics. That's why people will be walking down the street humming old Beatle songs long after we're gone.
