Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
solo artist, have gigged and produced live
variety shows over several years, and introduced many comedy characters, written
scetches, plays, show numbers, & performed
countless covers, pop, jazz,old time,rock&roll,
you name it.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
not so much now, I love it,'cause I'm a show
off onstage, although more reserved away from the roar of the crowd.Really I'm a writer
who performs,not a performer who writes.
Your musical influences
Too many to name, but it's fair to say, a bit
of everything has seeped in over time, even
tiny bits of classical have taught me things
in composition, to me, music is about moods,
and how we feel on a particular day, and music
reflects all those emotions for me, sometimes
we want to just bop to a screamin' rock number, join the chorus of a torch song,or
smooch to a sad number-i like all those things,
and one genre doesn't satisfy all those needs
to listen or play.
What equipment do you use?
keyboard, guitar, banjo uke, semi acoustic uke,
8track recording gizmo,& my character voices.
Anything else?
I have a new project in the pipeline-a full on
musical-an adaptation from a famous play,
nine songs.looking to record the numbers with
good singers, who can "act in their singing"
if you see what I mean.
