Merlin the Mystic, Classical style finger picking guitarist and vocalist. Has been rumored to often sing of the plight between good and evil. May my Holy King forever shine upon me. Looking for a financier.Your musical influences
The most important musical influence affecting my life ; is definitely the Moody Blues; the worlds spiritual BIG BROTHERS. (musically speaking) Second would be Chet Atkins, who changed my direction in guitar playing after a friend phoned me in 1972, and said "turn on your television; there is a man playing guitar that you might like." That night; I threw away my flat guitar pick and replaced it with a THUMB PICK , then growing fingernails on my right hand , and six months later, in the spring, I went back on stage as a "one man band" for the next five years. A man named JULIAN BREAM, deceased, is -in my opinion, the finest classical guitar finger picking virtuoso who ever walked the earth. I have heard all the great guitarists of the past 350 years; and this is not up for debate or discussion; JULIAN BREAM IS TOPS. In todays world, there are many great talented guitar players out there, depending on your personal taste. To name a few; Steve Vai is at the top of the list; and will remain there .... forever. Also Larry Coryell, Earl Klug, Eddie Van Halen (totally original) now how often does THAT happen? Of course who doesn't like Pink Floyd for their deep meditative take you way out contribution. Too many to mention, I like good rock & roll and in music , I will stay FOREVER YOUNG.What equipment do you use?

Amazing. I heard some of your music over on 1 mind productions and then I did a search and found your site. Good sh***, I don't know if you'd take this as a compliment but you remind me of a cross between the doors and jim croce or harry chapin with a beatles feel too... but on acid. I love the music man and I'm a hip hop emcee.
