John Ford
Me and a guitar. I think what I do might be described as "Allegorical American Music." I'm in love with the mystery of three chords, a simple melody and sometimes obtuse lyrics. In this digital world of sampled pure tones and instant "professionalism" these are songs written as simple arrangements for guitar and voice in the American song writing folk tradition. Everything is recorded straight off into a couple of mics with no "fancy" multi-tracking, sampling or "real" production. I hope you might enjoy them. - john ford
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I hate these things. Everyone writes some third person bio about how they are this and that.
I'm just a human. I put my pants on in the morning and takes em' off at night.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live nightly in my living room.
