Performing since I was 12, I have been involved with the music business for more years than I care to mention. :)
 I started in garage bands playing parties and school dances then moved on to the club scene in later years. I performed live for off and on for over 20 years...now concentrating on writing and recording.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

I perform live on internet radio only these days. As for special moments...there are so many I'll have to get back to you on that one :) Probably the most special is that I lived through some of the dives I've played in. lol

Your musical influences

I love music in general. I can find merit in all forms of it. I guess there are a few that have had more influence on my music than others but my tastes are so wide that it's really hard to pin down.
The Beachboys...I love their vocals.
Bill Joel...I don't think anyone can turn a phrase the way he can.
Vince Gill...what a wonderful voice...I wish I could come close.
Henry Mancini...wonderful writer and arranger.
NSYNC....again great vocals with a pop edge.
Ricky Nelson a smooth coutry/rock/pop style.
Queen....innovative.
The list goes on and on...I'm sure I have already bored you. :)

What equipment do you use?

These days I play mostly my QS8 Alesis keyboard and my Yamaha SSC 500 guitar.

Anything else?

I guess I'm a little different from most musicians. One day I'll write and perform funk the next country...the day after jazz...and the next classical. My mood dictates what I write and play. The draw back? Putting me in a tiddy little box that says "His music is ____".
You fill in the blanks...I can't. :)
