Why this name?
ahh but you never get to choose your own name...
Do you play live?
perform a few times a year, but stopped working in regular "gigging" bands a few years ago.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Defintely makes getting ones music out there a lot easier.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would not sign with an major label.
Band History:
I started playing when I was 8, got serious about it when I was 11, and never looked back.
Your influences?
My most influencial musican was a Guitar teacher (Johnny Moore)I went to from the time I was 11, until I was 18. Then of course, there's Clapton, Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, Duanne Alman, Jeff Beck, Dickey Betts,, etc.etc.etc... But I'd have to say it was Johnny that started me on the road.
Favorite spot?
Coast of Maine. From York, all the way the Bar Harbor.
