Scenic Mental Detours
NEWS
Mowed the lawn this past weekend. Also fertilized it. It looks even better than when I just mowed it.

...just a one man show at the point.... ...composing here and there and trying to love life. I really like what's being created, but am always cautious that I may simply be standing to close to my creations and not aware that I am producing crap.
For now, I am blissfully happy...., so if I can sustain this through the rest of my life, I guess you could say that things are not altogether that bad...

Why this name?
My son came up with the idea. I like it. I see it as having music as a beautiful distraction and a way to reach into yourself and learn more. The other band name I had was Floored on Empty. Letting that one rest, for now.
Do you play live?
Not yet....
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Don't get me started. It's all crazy. A million talented musicians out there.... all producing [mostly] good stuff.... and mostly unheard of, nationally, I suppose. I have great disdain for the radio industry and how they are constantly pushing (over and over and over (and over)) the same over-produced snot-nosed drivel. It's awful. The internet is a good way to get the music out there.... but music pays less now than ever before...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
At 49 years old..... ha....
Band History:
A long time ago, in a far away place, there was this fruit fly. But she died. The End.
Your influences?
Music influences include: Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Coldplay, , Alter Bridge, Sia, and many other random acts ....
Favorite spot?
British Virgin Islands, Hawaii [Maui], Wellington New Zealand, San Diego,
Equipment used:
Pearl and PDP drums, Sonar 8.5, Korg Triton Extreme, Jackson guitars, my trusty Boss BR0600!
Anything else...?
Live life now.... and DO NOT LOOK BACK.... unless you are being chased by zombies!! They walk slowly.
