Lawrence Bullock is a singer songwriter living in Mendocino, CA
I'm often asked who I sound like, what kind of music do I play. Well, I listen to a lot of things. In Ireland they say I sound like Christie Moore, Bob Dylan (which surprises the hell out of me), Van Morrison (again, surprised) and I've even gotten Jim Croce on occasion.
But you know, I'm thinking of chucking it all and banging on rocks til I reach a state where the atoms split apart and I realize that life's the first skip of the stone God throws across the Universe pond.
I just write what comes into my head. I never think about writing a "hit" tune. I know the formula for writing a "hit" tune, it just never occurs to me to write one. The music biz these days is so corporatized, that what I write seems quaint and out of date. Oh well, I can only write what I write.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
1955-20??
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, I play live when I feel alive. When I feel un-alive I play less than live, but still feel live-esque.
Your musical influences
Anyone who can write and play a well done song is my influence.
What equipment do you use?
Whatever's free or on sale.
