Have you performed in front of an audience?
I have done some live shows but I don't like them. Live shows just dosn't sound as good.
Your musical influences
My musical influences have been the Beatles, Jeff Lynne-ELO, Eric Burden-Animals, and most of all my father.
What equipment do you use?
I use a Korg keyboard with a Yamaha as a 2nd. Play a Washborn Bass and my faverate, a 1960's Kalamazoo Bass.
