Why this name?
I'm blind on one eye and a lefty, so..... that one was easy
Do you play live?
Nope, not yet.... still.......
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It should make music more distributable :-) Now I don't have to force people to listen, they have a choice.

About the Internet: Take a look at http://www.jimmyg.us The website of an artist that I have deep respect for !

.......
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
They won't ask anyway
Band History:
At the age of ~12 me and my parents were told in a local music store that since I'm left handed, I couldn't play the guitar (Yes they believed it). The result was I didn't get a guitar. In stead I got an accordion. I actually had lessons for2 or 3 years.
Afterwards I sold the accordion and bought me a right handed guitar. At first I tried to play right handed but that didn't work for me. I changed the string order to lefty and there it started.

When I was in my 30's I finally bought me my first real left handed guitar, A used ' 83 Tokai goldstar Strat. That was the time I started making real progression.

I still have and love the Tokai Goldstar.

Just a bass/drum track and me jammin' like on the Tokai and the Fender strats. Sound is a bit flacky. But I'll re-record anyway

A soundfile I discarded earlier while fooling around with my Fender strat, Cybertwin and Okko Diablo overdrive. After listening again while working I decided to mix it and place it here anyway.

With the thought in mind that 'Less is more' I played this one. Leaving lots of space for this beautiful backing track

My view and notes on "Nobody knows when you're down and out". This one took 2 amps and three guitars and a software failure (with a amazing manual recovery afterwards) to get in a sort of "Done" state.

Reassembled Backing from a 12bar.de collab. Left out all the bluesy guitar stuff, re-added my synth, organ and synth bass and laid down some lead lines Darn, diamonds shining through once more..
