Why this name?
:-) It is my name!
Do you play live?
I play 3-4 full solo gigs a month in local clubs around my region (Colorado's Front Range) I also make it a point to visit at least a couple Open Stages a week.
Live performance highlight for me to date was my appearance on April 5, 2001 at The Rialto Theater in Loveland Colorado and had the honor of Opening for Karla Bonoff for a sold out crowd of 450 in this Historical theater.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has opened up a new frontier in the music industry. Providing never before dreamed of platforms of global distribution to all artists signed or unsigned.
The biggest drawback I see is that the ease with which music can now be distributed via the internet has created a glut in the market and an overall lowering of quality recordings making the really great stuff difficult to locate at times.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Only under very limited and controled conditions.
Your influences?
James Taylor, Jim Croce, Harry Chappin, Van Morrison, and all the great singer songwriters have had an influence on my music.
The internet though has helped me to develop very openminded and diverse tastes in music and introduced me to genres which previously I would not have given a second chance.
