Sounds better than "Henceforth Trustworthy Higgenbottham."

I've done open mikes. Tired of following guys who are mainly hoping to get laid.

With or without a gun to my head?

Basically, I started playing guitar as a teenager, was in a couple of bands, and a few years ago decided I liked playing what I call "chord compositions" more than I liked singing songs. So that's what I do now. I own nine guitars!!!

My rhythm guitar influences, chiefly, have been Leo Kottke, Pete Townshend, John Lennon, and David Bowie, but I've also been influenced by coutless rock and jazz artists. Not that you'd know by listening to my stuff.

Washington Square Park, NYC.

Korean guitars and D'addario strings. Boom. Like dat.

I have a strange fascination with aluminum foil.
