Why this name?
My Mom gave it to me for my birthday.
Do you play live?
I play mostly in Texas. I occasionally do tours of New Mexico/Arizona/California, and Maine/Massachussetts/New Hampshire. I have also played in Europe and am planning a European tour for next year.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's great--the internet has made my music available to people all over the world--I love getting emails from places like Michigan or Italy from people who have heard my music and/or bought my CD's online.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Possibly, if the terms were right, but I enjoy having my own independent label, American Mutt Records (http://americanmuttmusic.com).

Harry Chapin, James Taylor, Jim Croce, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, John Hiatt, John Prine, Kris Kristofferson
