Why this name?
It's my name.
Do you play live?
No Only around the house and the occasional jam
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes it possible to hear great players that I never would have heard.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure, but I doubt anyone will be knocking. I can design a mean lens.
Band History:
No band, just me. I have been playing since about 2000. Lucky enough to take lessons from Country Blues guru Paul Rishell. He got me moving in the right direction.
