SoundClick artist: LT and The Widgets - LT & The Widgets, classic rock, country, folk rock, synth, electronic

I hope you like 80's, 70's, some folk rock and some others as I am posting music I have created. It all depends on how I feel. I'm doing real well at mymusicstream.com as I have 45 or songs posted there.

This is a total blast, having other people listen to music I create. The best part is, no one has ripped me yet. People can be so forgiving and kind.

Why this name?

Widgets used to be a fictional product.

Do you play live?

I'm studio driven. I really like the 70's styled rock music the best.
It depends on mood.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

There's a lot of good music out there that people haven't been able to hear until recently. The crap on the radio isn't worth listening to much.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Call me, email me. I can afford a plane ticket.

Band History:

Bands history? This is more my long held desire to create coming out. I have the equipment to work with and have a blast doing it.

Your influences?

Moods, events, daydreams, melodies.
As for who, it depends. I like lots of musicians whose talents and creations I couldn't imitate or touch. Deep Purple, UFO, Cat Stevens, Todd Rundgren, Beatles, Oasis, Foghat, Pretenders, early Scorpions, Foghat, Ramones, Patty Loveless, Dwight Yoakam, and several others.

Favorite spot?

Dresden and Bad Lobenstein, Germany

Equipment used:

Guitar, mike, Yamaha, Korg and Roland synths, 16 track BOSS recorder, drum machine.

Anything else...?

I try to keep it fun. Getting too hung up on perfection and beating myself to death for it is like blowing a tire. It sucks out all the air.
