Scruffy Eagle
My music is an adventure of spirit - frequently, my freely-given gift to those I find myself with.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Not much to say, yet. Still emerging from the shell I've spent so many years rolling around in. I'm gradually making a stash of recordings, of various songs I've made through the years. I'm filing them into "collections" named: "Ex-Father's Lament", "Havva Slice - Uh, Life", "Beat My Nick", and "Scruffy Remakes". At some point, I'll be making full CD's available, as given collections hit critical mass.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, I play live. I love it! It's usually at the LVD Casino, sitting in with bands. Re. special moments - it's always a special moment, when it happens.
Your musical influences
I guess my biggest musical influences would be The Beatles, followed closely by Neil Young, and a whole slew of Motown artists. Add a cascade of multitudinous other influences from a wide variety of musical genres, and you get idea of what's influenced my musical development.
What equipment do you use?
Whatever the moment & my current partner(s) need the most - which, usually, is just me, my wonderful hands, that big old slinky thing (guitar), and those 2 pounding rhytmic accessories (bongos).
Anything else?
I think it's either a gross oversight or a political cop-out maneuver, that virtually all the software & services around don't allow or include "Protest" as an option when entering musical genre. There are several songs I've done, which would fall into that category - IF it wasn't being suppressed.
