It's easy to figure out.

I play live where ever and when ever.

Depends on how much they would pay me up front, their requirements, material ownership, residuals, & etc. Probably not, because they'd make the money and I would do the work or they wouldn't sign.

Damned long time.

Guys and gals older than me, for the most part, though I pull from much younger folks that I like.

Ventura, Guild and Yamaha acoustic guitars, Fender, Galveston, Aida, Crate, Carvin, Beyer Dynamics, MXL, Shure, Kramer, On Stage, Phonic, CAD, Electro Voice, Porchboard, Avatar, Sony, TEAC, what ever else it takes to record decently and sound good.
