Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Playing live shows is really the other side of the coin for most musicians,recording and composition is the other side. We mostly play in the midwest of the U.S. always looking to branch out,would love to play some European countries, I think we would do very well.
Your musical influences
well,I started out playing classical guitar and then got into bands like Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple,Black Sabbath...moving on to Rush,Tangerine Dream,Iron Maiden....but also Pat Metheny,George Benson,SRV..and Joe Satriani,Steve Vai,Eric Johnson.
