Welcome to the Rubber Guitar Web Page. Glad you could "drop in and sit a spell". Most songs here are "in the rough" and still under construction but a few are finished. Some are a little strange but the serious Christian songs are usually of a country flavor.

I (the band - Rubber Guitar) live in East Tennesse near the Great Smokie Mountains near Knoxville Tennesse. Rubber Guitar has Mike on the bass, Mike on the rhythm guitar, Mike on the lead guitar and mandolin, and Mickey the PC for drums. (The bass player is the rowdiest).

The guy playing the banjo, on my left in the photo, is Perry, our Maintenance Director. He leads a service every Thursday at 12:30 PM. We play some old church hymns and Bluegrass Gospel with Mert, a decent fiddle, guitar, banjo, and mandolin player. Kinda' like church on Thursday, the old fashun' way and fun too.
Why this name?
Started out as a joke in the 70's. We were trying to name a band. I kinda' liked it, easy to remember . . . The others laughed at me . . . hey it was the 70's . . . I ought to use something else for my Country recordings though . . . Rubber Guitar doesn't sound very Country . . . Sorry 'bout that, this is all an experiment anyway . . .
Do you play live?
Every Sunday and Wednesday in a praise band. . . and . . . every Thursday with a group that love Bluegrass Gospel . . . but not as Rubber Guitar. That's an imaginary band that really never existed until now.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
A whole new world of sharing . . . and how else would I be here . . .

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If asked, I guess. I'm sure quite a few here at SoundClick would . . . under the right conditions . . .
Band History:
We never really existed(?) . . . This is an Prototype Air Band.
Your influences?
Loooooongggg list. Got quite a few I could mention. Of course I'd need to mention the Flaming Embers from Detroit. Bill's the best keyboard player around and had a major influence on some of my music. And, there's a cousin of my wife, Chris Wallin. He has written quite a few songs for well known singers. "Don't Blink" to name one. You guys need to pick up a copy of it. Others are too long to mention . . .
Favorite spot?
The US South - Tennessee.
Equipment used:
Fender Strat mostly. A couple of flat tops and a mandolin. Mandolin's sound strange in rock though. For recording I use Multitrack Studio. Pretty Good software, I have no complaints.

If you want to look it over:
Multitrack Studio

I have a studio comprised of three PC's, one with Win2000, one with WinXP, and a LINUX machine for my website.
Anything else...?
Currently working as an Information Systems Director for one of the largest (and best) hospital groups in the US.
