You know, I just liked it thought it sounded cool. My better half has an avid interest in astronomy and it has become infectious.

I do not play live as much as I would like. I spend most of my time producing. I live the live music thing vicariously through my son, who is an outstanding guitarist and bassist.

Obviously, distribution has changed forever. More music genres are accessible and finding an audience for your music is much easier, regardless of the style.

Sure, as a producer.

Not much band history. Former music educator. Played in a couple of groups in the early 80s, kids came along and the bands went away. Always have dabbled with MIDI, creating soundtracks for local theater productions and did some work for local performers.

Fusion, Old Skool funk, electronica, alternative music from the 80's forward, Impressionism

Anywhere near mountains or water. Love the east coast of the US, particularly the carolinas.

Various computer based DAWs, (most notably Sonar and Reason), loads of plug ins, Rode, Shure, Oktava and CAD mics with a PreSonus Eureka channel strip, other hardware based effects and mixing tools.
