Hello. My music is acoustic blues (-ish); mainly bottleneck guitar with the odd touch of ukulele.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Oh my... When I was seven I started learning the violin. A few decades followed covering trumpet, violin, classic guitar, various orchestras and bands, at the end of which time worn out knuckle and thumb joints led me to discover what happens with a glass tube on your finger, and that the frets on the fingerboard can just be there mainly for decoration.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Local "acoustic" clubs.
Your musical influences
Johnny Shines, Corey Harris, Houndog Fraser, and Johnny Shines... And Johnny Shines!
What equipment do you use?
I'm not much into hi-fi, I just like playing music, and all songs are recorded in one take, using a microphone that came with the pc - a nifty little bit of free software enables long recordings through Windows Sound Recorder. My guitar is a Yamaha something (I'll look inside it and update this when I get around to it); my bottlenecks are by www.diamondbottlenecks.com.
Anything else?
It's for fun - what else?
