Your musical influences
I was influenced by so much of music I heard in Philly, and I have to give credit to my guitar teacher, the late Jack McGann. I have folk roots, but also love jazz, blues and soul. Right now, Im listening to blues and jazz vocalists and instrumentalists.What equipment do you use?
I play shows with various Martin guitars, D16RGT (customized), DC1E, and an SWDGT At home, I play an old D-18 Martin, a Schulte custom Les Paul and an Epiphone Dot Studio. I have a Peavey Bandit amp, and in the studio, I use Sonar.
For shows, we use a small Berhringer PA, and we have a larger set up with 15" Cerwin Vegas with horns, a digital 800 amp and a Behringer mixer.
My wife plays an Ibanez acoustic bass and a Roadgear bass.Anything else?
These are svarious elections some from my first CD made in my home recording studio. Our latest CD features Kim's vocals and my songs and it is called 'Safe Distance.' We are working on the next one with several songs completed and some work in progess. The songs feature acoustic guitar with folk,pop,blues, and jazz influences.
