I'm a country blues singer/songwriter. I have Trigemina Neuralgia, and play music to make the pain go away. I play a 1943 Gibson banner J-45 and a National vintage steel tricone, and rack harmonica.
Do you play live?
I've most enjoyed playing the streets of New Orleans and coffee houses in upstate New York. Currently in Massachusetts.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The CD "Mr Songman" is for sale on CD Baby and Amazon.
