Band/artist history
Since this will be a re-entry into performing for the first time since 1985, I will have to build from there. I've been involved in music since I was 3, so I will never quit. It is not for me; it is for y'all!!
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I am almost fully recovered from a 6 year disability. Surgeons say I should be ready by early this year (2010), and boy, will I be ready!! (And I hope my fans will be, too.)
Your musical influences
I like everything from the "crashing guitars" of Pete Townshend and Glen Tipton to the mellow acoustic and electric rock of Lindsey Buckingham, the expressive David Gilmour, Country's late Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, Merle Haggard, and, I'm sorry, this is a bad question for me, ALL vocals as long as they are passionate and heart-felt. And yeah, I love Motown. Grew up in the '60s, from Diana Ross, to the Godfather of funk, James Brown, and I will say here, without being funny, the music of Wild Bill Austin, as its roots are in cheering and encouraging others in hard and good times. "If I can't make you smile, laugh, or cry, or feel better, I'm not doing my job."
What equipment do you use?
An Epiphone SG electric (plan to upgraade to a Gibson) and an Ovation Pinnacle Acousti Electric I will use anywhere on stage, and MicroKorg Synthesizer. In concert/shows in the past I have played about 30% acoustic and 70% electric mix in an evening.
Anything else?
I want to do my part to raise the self esteem of every life I touch. Music is a good medium for me. I have been exposed to it for 59 years, since I was 3, and started playing at my mom's Steinway Grand Piano. I am working hard and will continue to work hard to make my songs great so they bring happiness to people all over the world.
