Although I work with a couple of dance bands a few nights each week, the music here is mainly my own efforts written and recorded at home. I enjoy writing instrumental music based around the guitar, and also try my hand at a few vocal songs now and then. Usually my vocal songs are of a soft rock, country, easy listening variety. If there's any of them that you would like to sing, feel free to do so. I don't consider myself a singer. My first love is the guitar and writing for it. I have a couple of instrumental guitar CD's for sale at cdbaby and itunes. I also am a public school teacher and teach guitar lessons at a local music store in Lawton, Oklahoma. Music is my mantra! Thanks for listening.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has given the independent artist a forum to display their works. I think it's great.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends.
Band History:
I've been playing guitar in bands since I was 12 years old. I also have been working with recording gear since my early teens. Anyone remember the old Tascam 3340 hah! I love how easy it is now to get your ideas down quickly without a whole room full of gear.
Your influences?
Everything I've heard and liked through the years. Instrumental smooth jazz/easy listening as well as country, blues and rock.
Equipment used:
I have been using Roland gear primarily for recording-just recently bought the 2480. I play guitar, bass, keyboards, drums a little banjo and try to sing once in a while.
