I do not have a permanent band, lots of good pickers around. Sometime we get together and do a gig. I mostly perform alone. Singer/songwriter style.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Right now I play mostly around here local, in east Tenn. I venture down to NC every week to play at Hot Springs. I get down to Texas once in awhile. And Port Townsend, WA starting to spread out some, up to Michigan in Feb. 2008, and Columbus,OH Feb. too.
Your musical influences
John Prine. Ed Bruce(the voice) and Vern Gosdin. and Blues players Buddy Guy and many others. and lately I like Michael Reno Harrel, Jeff Black, Malcolm Holcombe, Chris Smither, R. B. Morris. and a lot of others most have never heard of. In my area just about any old guy sitting on his front porch plays better than anybody you might hear in Nashville.
What equipment do you use?
I like vintage Guitars. I Have many. I use an old 50s Kay acoustic to do most of my writing. She has a great sound and one of my favorites (Kate) I have an early 60s Framus hollowbody elec. for a mellow soulful sound Iwhen needed. a 1970 Framus 6 string banjo, I recently bought a Blueridge br73 to gig with, installed a Martin pickup, and love it.

Hi again Glenn - I have been busy running around the world in my mad line of work - not much time for music - however I have just penned and recorded a tasty little country-rock tune that I think you will like - called 'Riding in the desert' - top of my song list at the moment. You'll find it has a connection with my 'Istanbul' song - except this one references Kabul, Kandahar and Herat :) I was particularly pleased how it turned out... all the best from downunder .. Charles
