Band/artist history
Been playing guitar for over thirty some odd years and recently got back into songwriting. I've played in Rock Bands, Folk Groups and the Blues any chance I get. Yet alot of my songs have a country influence. (My Mom was a big Hank Williams Fan)
Have you performed in front of an audience?
The occasional Open Mic. My regular one faded out of existence from lack of interest. (Note to Self; Must play out more often)
Your musical influences
I always though about how I would answer this question if asked. The honest truth would have to be any music I ever heard. Even stuff you don't like influences you not to sound like that. But if I have to drop some names: Buddy Holly, Everly Brothers, John Lennon, John Hiatt, Neil Young,Johnny Cash ,Hank Williams, J.J.Cale ,John Prine,The Eagles,Lou Reed, Buddy Guy ,B.B.King Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Holland Dozier and Holland ,Steve Cropper,Bob Dylan' Willie Nelson Rick Nelson, Jimmy Reed,Elmore James ,T Bone Walker, Kris Kristofferson,OK I could go on for ever.
What equipment do you use?
I do most of my writing on a '74 Martin D18
Anything else?
