It was just obvious to drop our names after we forgot the "band" concept.. We became more adept at putting ideas together on the go, as we went, rather than rehearsing our stuff until we were bored, and adding another 2-5 band-mates usually sentenced the good ideas to "death by commitee..

Do I play live? Yes, with just about any kind of music. The keyboardist hasn't gotten out in a while, owing to having a paying job that's pushed a lot of responsibilities his way of recent. My own day job has been steadily improving as well.

I enjoy getting out to the jam sessions, it keeps me on my toes. Playing with others is often challenging, owing to tastes and abilities, but a steady diet of it improves the playing, ears and overall musical abilities. One night, Justin Timberlake came over just after opening for someone, and the entire crew packed the place..

Hrmm, interesting question.. Some of my folks in the musicians union hate the idea entirely, others want me to write about it. I figured that some experiences with it would help towards that. Personally, I think it's a great idea, especially for the new players. It brings feedback about how the audience accepts (or rejects) the efforts being made, something that doesn't seem to occur early on with the recording companies, if ever..

Oh, I'd have to read the fine print first..

Oh geeze, I don't know what to put here.. The "band" personnel are about 12 in number, and have been playing together for over 15 years. This brings a broad spectrum of musical tastes to the studio, and we record everything now. Several generations of equipment have gone into storage for historical purposes (eg.Moog, Roland, Korg) in favor of some much better gear. Computer-wise, I've dragged these guys into the 21st century, and watched them turn into professionals at that craft. Still, it's fun to get together whenever we can, even just a couple or three, and toss ideas about, seeing what each other can do to improve on an idea or theme. Always a joy, that..

All the usual stuff, and on into Mahavishnu Orchestra, King Crimson, Kansas, Deep Purple, just to drop some names that still active musically..

Tulsa, OK..

We don't do much of that, prefer to actually play an instrument.. Yeah, it's more of a challenge, but that's why we like it.. Some sequencers have been used in the past, mainly Ensoniq and Yamaha..

We play for the joy of it, having been disillusioned of making much of a 'splash here in OKC. Most of our work will have to be published out of state to get anywhere. Still, the idea of using MP3 format to test the 'waters' seems like a good avenue..
