Welcome ! I've been a big music fan since I was a child and became an avid record buyer as a teenager. I only started trying to play guitar in my 30's and wrote my first song in about '91. Buying a 4 track recorder off ebay was one of the best things I ever did. I have a blast with a few friends doing cover tunes and the few original's that I have been able to come up with.It is a great hobby .
Why this name?
madog was my high-school nickname (don't ask!)and when the internet arrived and I needed a screen name it seemed only natural but it was taken , so I added 99 (gretsky or Bruce's Johnny99 )
Do you play live?
I have played live a few times , mostly in a small resort town up north called Danford Lake and it was fun , even got to jam with the house band a few times. I guess the best time was a charity gig when I played with my buddy Ben , a 4 song set that went really well and 2 of our songs ended up on a CD.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well I have been able to interact with others from all over the place, exchange idea's, get opinions and meet some very nice folk. I think it helps us all grow musically .
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure ,if they were crazy enough to want me.
Your influences?
my tastes have changed over the years , I loved the beatles as a 10 year old and it went from there. Motown was a big factor in my teens as was dylan , then stones , the who , and then came Bruce ! He is still my #1 guy
Favorite spot?
