It's my last name. I think it sounds cool like a one named act.

Not really at this point. My music now is more of a personal creative outlet, being that I'm married now, full time job, daughter, mortgage, etc.
I do however enjoy playing live when the chance does come up. No drug in the world can ever touch the rush of playing live and having and audience support what your doing.

The best thing to happen to the industry ever! You don't need to be at the mercy of any record company, hoping to get signed. Anybody can now record and have distribution(if not promotion) through the internet. It's also made people realize that record companies(with a few exceptions, notably smaller indies) are not about promoting or supporting an artist, but about profit for their shareholders.

I would consider it, primarily for the promotion aspect. It would have to be a really good deal(not necessarily financially) where I can remain in control of my work.

Bob Mould has been a HUGE influence on me. Other major ones are; The Tragically Hip, Hugh Dillon/Headstones, The Killjoys/Mike Trebilcock, Matthew Good, Neil Young, The Who, The Ramones, The Clash, Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn, Tom Wilson, Johnny Cash, The Weakerthans, Bad Religion.

My hometown, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

My main guitar is a '91 reissue of a '62 Gibson SG. My other guitars include a '56 reissuse Epiphone Gold Top Les Paul with P 90's, a Squier Telecaster customized by me to look like a single pick-up Esquire(I had a doubleblade single coil sized humbumbucker put in), a killer sounding '57 reissue Epipjone Les Paul Jr. with a much improved aftermarket P 90, an Epiphone Dot studio, Squier P-Bass, 70's El Degas Gibson Dove copy that I restored that belonged to my late father-in-law, and an old Yamaha acoustic which sounds pretty damn good for a cheap acoustic! My electrics go through one of my 2 Peavey Classic series amps; a Classic 20 all tube, one 8' speaker, or my Classic 50 2*12 all tube. My effects include a Morley Power Wah/Volume, Ibanez Tube Screamer reissue, Boss DS-1, Boss Hi-Band Flanger, Boss RT-20 rotary effects unit, and a Rocktron tremolo . Plus during recording various emulations in Apple's Garageband recording software. Mics are Shure SM-57 for the amps and a Samson C01 condenser.
