I was born with it

I play live as often as possible, as a solo acoustic artist or with a full band whenever I can get something together. I love it ! The soecial moments are too numerous to mention, but my favorites are the moments where there is a true synergy occuring onstage with my fellow musicians. Wait, that's my second favorite, my FAVORITE moments are when hot chicks are screaming and cheering and occasionally flinging undergarments at me.

Technology frightens me, but it does allow me to reach audiences that I normally could never reach.

Duh.
