Have you performed in front of an audience?
I've played many shows with various bands over the last 25 years.. but VonFace and I haven't performed together with a band since 1983, it would be a great show! However at the present time I do play live in my basement studio as often as possible, usually there is a cat or two hanging around as well...
Your musical influences
for this project: the Grateful Dead, old Genesis, S.Copeland, B.Brufford, any and all good jazz and many other bands that I'm discovering here...

Gretsch Catalina Birch w/ Remo heads, Zildjian and Paiste cymbals, Pro Mark sticks, Lp congas and misc. percussion, Yamaha PSR-500, and a 100yr old upright piano
