I've been playing since the mid eighties, but only recently have I begun to perform in public.
Why this name?
You'll have to ask my parents
Do you play live?
I have a weekly "gig" on Sundays at my church.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
At the same time, it causes the music industry great consternation, and it opens up new horizons unimaginable by traditional means of distribution.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
As if
Your influences?
I have so many musical influences, it's hard to fathom. I really dig players like Kottke and Ed Gerhard though.
Equipment used:
I play an Ibanez GA6CE classical guitar with a Fishman UST, and a Simon & Patrick Woodland Folk with a B-Band UST. I either mic the guitar with a Shure SM-81 through a preamp and then through my Fishman Aura Spectrum DI, or plug the UST pickup straight into the Aura; and then out to the the house system.
Anything else...?
I play mostly for God, but will also play for gift certificates to Daddy's Junky Music.
