My name is Rob...but that's kinda boring so it needed some pizazz and cache. Then it occurred to me: "hey, I'm an airline captain! How about putting 'captain' in front of my name? Bet no one's ever thought of that before! But I might have to write some nautical themed songs or perhaps some reggae. Ok. That's it!"

Mostly my living room which I guess means no...but I do play in our church weekly which counts.

That's an easy one. Democratization of music. It provides an end run around those leeches calling themselves record companies who exist only to profit off the life's work of serious artists. Suit wearing sharks calling themselves businessmen making millions for what? I say gigabytes to the masses. Screw the man!

Only if they offered an obscene amount of money and I had complete creative control and a small army of lawyers to go after those leeches stealing my life's work to download for free. This country was built on property rights. Would you go into someone's house to steal their stereo? Ok, so I'm not a rap band...it's still wrong!

Bought a guitar, bought another guitar, bought another guitar, bought an amp, bought a PA, bought some other cool stuff to go on the computer. It just kinda happened.

Notes. Usually in succession.

Ask my wife. I can usually get it first time!

Loud guitars! Most of them have strings, too.

Ok. For the geeks: Pro tools LE7, Ableton Live, Yamaha Qy-100 Sequencer, M-Audio interface, Digitech Effects, MXL and Shure mics, Fender, Crate, and Peavey Amps, Gibson, Ovation, Yamaha, Line 6, and Ibanez guitars, Carvin mixers, Fender picks, Trojan condoms.

Life is beautiful. Love ya man. Stop global whining...er...I mean warming. Shut down all those server farms now! No blood for oil but milk for cereal is OK by me. Ok, a little oil too, you know, for the salad.
