George Cookinham
The band is just me and my guitars, and sometimes backup singers. The rest is music I've composed on a synthesizer.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I just started recording my music in 2004, but I've been playing the guitar since 1955. I started with classical music when I was a kid living in Mallorca.
Your musical influences
Classical, folk, blues, flamenco, rock, country.
What equipment do you use?
A Telecaster and a Conde Hermanos flamenca blanca.
Anything else?
My favorite music is flamenco. I see quite a few similarities between flamenco and blues, but, for me, flamenco has the most gut-wrenching melodies and harmonies of all the music that I have listened to. However, it is very difficult to sing and/or play flamenco with even the slightest competency, so I write my music for other music styles - which I also love.
