My name is "Papa Carl"...and by the name you may be able to tell I'm not a kid. I've been around a bit. I'm fortunate to be able to work with some great musicians who support me in my endeavors. I don't have one band as such but do collaborate with a very special group of people on my music. I'm focusing on music with some kind of message. I really respect the power some singer songwriter people had during the 30's through the 60's. Music can bring about change but maybe more importantly document a time, an era. I think about things in my life, things I see and write about them. Occasionally I'll stray from that pattern and write something about an emotion or a feeling that really got to me. I'm living and loving life right now. So...I write about what I see and feel.
Over the last ten plus years it's been mostly in the Central NJ to Philly area. Wherever the chance to play a good gig comes about...and I love to hook up with some of my very close musician friends.
I play wherever the opportunity is. I enjoy sitting in with some of my closest friends in music too.
Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Earle, Kris Kristoferson, Ramblin Jack Elliot, all blues artists, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, the entire ' 60's.
My main instruments right now are a Gibson J 45 Rosewood Custom, a Blueridge slope shoulder rosewood model, and an Alvarez parlor size guitar.
I'm still here. I've had enough stuff happen to make me history that just the fact I can still play makes some people want to listen :-) I've been given the Gift of Life----the Gift of Life is a Gift of Love, what better way is there to express LOVE than with Music? Music is the best therapy on earth !
