" I Love all kinds of music, and I sing many different styles, but I think more often than not, my songs can be placed in one of three categories, Country, Blues, or Gospel, or a combination of the three.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live alot, mostly local. I play alot of benefits, and other events that I get invited to sing for. I love singing. My most memorable "gig" was at my own wedding. I had written a song "Heaven on Earth"(not the current version on file) for my wife the night before, and sang it to her, as we stood before the crowd. It was a powerful moment, i'll always remember it.
Your musical influences
The Spirit within, Ralph Stanley, Vince Gill, Righteous Brothers, Otis Redding, Roy Orbison and any singer that ever put his heart and soul into his singing.
What equipment do you use?
When I perform solo (usually the case) I carry along my flat top. My goal is to connect through the lyrics of a song, so I don't focus on instruments. If i'm with a group I sometimes don't play an instrument at all.
Anything else?
Thank God for each day, live and love for today. We aren't promised tomorrow.
