...because there was already a one with that name

...I don't perform in public anymore

...It's a great way to get wide exposure; but it's also too easy to pirate free music nowadays. Musicians deserve to get paid for what they do, just like in the old days. I'd rather give my CD away to anyone who wants to listen. Maybe I should stop exposing myself...

...Sure! And Bugs Bunny is coming to my house for tea...

...Since 1990 I travelled and lived around Europe, Australasia, The Middle East and South-East Asia; got homeless for a while there, too. Also studied Muay Thai in Thailand for a while then I came to Japan in 2000 to teach English.
*************************************************************************** I'd reckon it was my destiny to wind up in Japan so I became a student of Japanese language and vocal arts and graduated from the Tokyo Media Academy in 2003. During my three years as a born again student, I rediscovered myself through traditional music.
Under the instruction of Master Takeshi Hirayasu, I studied the Sanshin and Okinawan music in Tokyo. I had been performing as an independant artist, recording as well as playing live at cafes and other live venues, but now I'm just a done quitter
I also did some TV work here and there and worked on various programmes during the middle of the night when everyone else was sleeping. Well, that's about all I got right now; holy cow...

...Queen, Begin, Iggy Pop, Elvis, the *** pistols, Pink Floyd, Blue Oyster Cult, Green Day, REM, Psychedelic Furs, March Violets, Bing Cosby. Various Okinawan artists. Crayon Shin-Chan,....

...the big Yellow one.

...No Synthesizers! Just a Zoom multitrack right now; I've never owned a computer. I play all instruments; Bass guitar, Electric guitar, Sanshin, Vocals, Keyboard, Bongos and Okinawan Castanets. And I'm only Crap at playing nearly all of them!
