I was born with it :) ... No really, until it's more than just myself, I'll just stick with my given name.

No, except for church once in a while.

Absolutely. The internet has completely changed the way people listen to music and even how they think about it. It's opened up a whole new world of different musical genres to people who otherwise would have never explored styles of music outside of their "comfort zone".

Sure, if the right opportunity presented itself :)

I was born with a guitar in one hand and a banjo in the other! Actually, I have been playing guitar since age 12 and was in several bands throughout my teens. During those teen years I played at several local bars, private parties, and did some studio work. But, for the last several years have only worked in my home studio (and sometimes play guitar or banjo at church).

I really love fingerstyle guitar and open and alternate tunings (G, D, DADGAD, Dropped D, etc). I love the work of the late John Fahey. Also influenced by Leo Kottke, Ry Cooder, The Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young and various other acoustic musicians.

I visited London England a few years ago and really loved it! One of the most soul stirring places Ive visited was Bath, England....I also love the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, AZ, Huntington Beach, CA, and West Palm Beach, FL.
