David Thrope is a singer, songwriter based in Massachusetts.
I have been writing songs for quite a while. Much less so as I get older. These follow many different genres in rock and folk. The music here is from a variety of "audio notebooks" and highlights the basic sound. I have used single track analog, multitrack analog and digital. Sometimes when I feel like it, I actually play in public.
I currently own and use several instruments ranging from my Fender Mustang, Casio electronic guitar, CZ-101 keyboard, mandolins, Epiphone Les Paul Jr., and Ibanez acoustic. Percussion is usually done the way Eddie Cochran did it, with a shoe box with a mic inside.
My influences include the usual suspects with emphasis on Buddy Holly, Hank Williams, Elvis, George Jones, Dion, Dylan, and, of course, Waste Management. Did I leave out the great Paul Vernot, master of the early Rock n Roll genre? If the Internet is working correctly, Tish and Snookie will hit on this page:)
