A song about a Vietnam Vet back in 1972 rehabbing in Honolulu.

I Think I'm Thinking Too Much I Think I'm Thinking Too Much
There's too much to think about these days.

Michael King Ross is a singer/songwriter whose musical heroes are people like Bob Dylan, John Prine, Tom Waits, Greg Brown, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Springsteen, Robert Earl Keen, Todd Snider, The Rolling Stones, Sonny Boy Williamson, Ramblin' Doug Hamblin, Steve Goodman, Big Bill Broonzy... people like that. Not that he necessarily like any of them, but he sorta fits somewhere into that genre.
Band/artist history
Born in a log cabin. Moved to Gallup, New Mexico where I learned a lot of cowboy songs and Indian songs. The rest is history.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Now and then, in the Twin Cities area. I love playing for an audience.
Your musical influences
Singer/songwiters - Dylan, Prine, Waits, Greg Brown, Lucinda Williams, Springsteen, Robert Earl Keen, Todd Snider. Contemporary folk, I guess you could say. Mostly guitar - acoustic & some electric. Mature themes, not likely to appear on American Idol.
What equipment do you use?
Mostly guitars - acoustic and electric. Some mandolin. Bass & drums & organ & piano and the occasional synthesizer sound. Oh - and those little egg-shaped shaker things, sometimes...
