Just using my real name

Played for 25 years in bands in So. Cal. but now just writing my own music at home.

Easy access to all type of music

Yes

I've been singing since I was a child. Sang in Acapella groups in the 50's and 60's in Philadelphia.

Started playing guitar in 1970 and began playing in clubs and coffehouses, finally ended up playing in bands all over So. Cal.

Got away from the bar band grind in 2000 and never looked back.

Paul Simon, Gordon Lightfoot, Phil Ochs, Eric Clapton, Van Halen, Chicago, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Billy Joel and others.

Adobe Audition, Carvin guitars, Carvin and Peavey amps, Shure, AKG and Carvin mic's, Boss GT-3 FX, Alesis compressors, Alesis Nanoverb, Behringer mixer, Yamaha MU80 MIDI.

In my opinion writing songs and sharing them with people is the best thing an artist can do.

Anytime a person can take a mere thought and turn it into something with form and grace, hopefully making an impact on the listener, they are serving mankind in a positive way.

Wouldn't it be cool if the world could trade in all their weapons for musical instruments and instead of fighting wars they could just have a battle of the bands?!

All we'd have to do is put Eddie Van Halen up on stage and let him whip "Eruption" on 'em and that'd be it!
