Freelance Rider Company
It's mainly me and the wonderful artists who have graciously contributed to RealTracks (www.pgmusic.com). Band in a Box and RealBand have been indispensible for me.
My best friend has been a collaborator (scoring) in the past and I hope to begin working with him again soon. I am open to other collaborations as well-- hence the "band" name. Think of it as an "Alan Parsons Project" for more country, roots rock and blues oriented stuff.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been writing songs for 40 years, and got serious maybe 20 years ago... just not serious enough. Since losing my job recently I now have some time to get back to it!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No, this is a virtual project. I love to bang on my acoustic guitar but I play very badly.
