Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been "playing at" guitar since I was 12 - about the time my cousin stuck the nickname of "Biz" on me. Some of you may remember 33 and 1/3 rpm vinyl records. I learned to play guitar by putting on my favorite albums and playing them over and over (and over). I've spent a number of very enjoyable years doing other things, including watching my kids grow up, being a "baseball dad", changing careers, etc. Now that my kids are in college, I've been lucky enough to rekindle my passion for music. Actually, the passion was always there, but I did more listening than playing. ).We're in the process of recording more demos, so check The MOOD site periodically. I work as a CPA by day to support my "guitar habit."
. I also want to thank my family )Trescha, Adam, and Katie for allowing this indulgence into music. Thanks for listening.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Playing live with The MOOD and some acoustical projects. I've only been playing "in public" since The MOOD formed last summer.
Your musical influences
Classic rock from late 60s/early 70s(Led Zeppelin #1) and progressive acts like Rush and Pink Floyd. One of my new favorites is Porcupine Tree (new to me anyway). I'm also listening to a lot of alt-country these days, primarily Cross Canadian Ragweed and Drive-By Truckers.
What equipment do you use?
69 Gibson LP Custom
