Well, one day, I was laying around, when suddenly there was a loud thunderclap. The clouds parted like stage curtains to reveal a bearded face. It spoke. "Arthur," it said, "king of the Britans..." Anyway, it essentially explained that I was to find the holy grail, which would save the world in addition to teaching me the greatest band name ever. After a grueling quest and much hillarity, I finally found the sacred chalice, and the name Andrew Goodman was carved into it.

Either that, or it's my name......

The first story is definitely infinitely more logical, in addition to totally not bastardizing the plot to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, though.

Currently, no. I may, once I get a decent setlist layed out, begin trying to play a few bars locally.

I think that the internet is providing a great opportunity for those who want to spread music around to do so easily, without contributing to the stagnant monster that is the larger portion of the music industry. Ultimately, it's giving me a shot at playing music and being recognized a bit for it, so I'm kind-of required to like it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, you're serious? I'm recording 15-minute acoustic instrumentals. I'd say the odds of me receiving a major label contract are somewhere in the neighborhood of (1/쳌‡).

Wow, history......umm....there's really no band history to speak of. I blew a paycheck this summer on recording equipment enough to record onto my cpu, and have begun attempting to put it to good use. No real backstory here, just.....*looks off in the distance* the future.

Good God, I hate having to boil all those I've stolen from/copped/imitated thus far. I'll try to keep this brief, though, since you're wasting your own time reading this.

Opeth, Genesis, Nile, John Petrucci, Vai, Black Sabbath, Pain of Salvation.

Ultimately, I'm typically a lot lighter, featuring much more acoustics than that list might indicate, but those might give you some idea.

The Grand Teton Mountains are absolutely divine.

I've got an Ibanez Gio, an Epiphone "Basher" LP, and a Washburn 12-string acoustic. Most of my electric tone comes from my KORG Toneworks AX100G multiFX pedal.

In terms of recording, I'm using a Tascam US-122 direct input and MXL mics (though I'm going to need to get a nicer mic if I'm going to record vocals, as the one I have makes the baby Jesus cry). I'm currently recording into audacity, until I can convince the cubase that came with the input to work.

For those of you who are wondering after listening to Jam in D, no, I don't own or play a sitar. What you're hearing there is me giving my 12-string acoustic the "sitar" effect. If you are interested in the process, email me, and I'll be more than happy to explain it.
