...Been writing since 1967. Not influenced by many artists, since I avoided the mainstream for years. This media isolation enabled me to develop my own style and sound....
Why this name?
The name was given to me by an audience member of a musical I was performing in, many, many years ago.... it stuck, I guess...
Do you play live?
No, it's been about 10 years since performing anywhere. Life kind-of got in the way (long, boring story)... I guess the most memorable moment was playing my music for Leslie West (Mountain)...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
There's a big world out there, being made smaller minute after minute by the internet... This is a revolutionary period in the history of entertainment. I don't view it as particularly threatening - just challenging...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
At this point I'm more interested in leasing my music. But if you twist my arm a little harder....
Band History:
I've written over 350 originals, 2 full length musicals, performed solo, with trios (Amethyst, Jack of Shadows) - mostly a solo act, though...
Favorite spot?
New York, New York, New York.... but I wouldn't object to living in New Zealand, if it was offered...
Equipment used:
Martin 0018, Kawai K5... I'm an analog whore, though... digital music has been a huge challenge, and I'm still learning....
Anything else...?
I write songs about passion, obsession... the angst and depression experienced in my early years enabled me to use music as a form of therapy, lol...
