I have been writing songs since age 7 (first song, walking home from school was "It's God's Fault".) Never stopped writing and as soon as possible recording on anything I could get my hands on. Dad's Sony reel-to-reel, cassette recorders, ping-ponging to achieve semblance of multitracking. Then proper 4-track machines, then 8, then 16, then digital (early 80s) then in million dollar studios where I managed too often to fill 100 tracks ON TAPE (on SSL consoles, Neve) and everything in between. Have written thousands of songs, recorded probably about 400 of them. Have performed about 600 live shows. Made a few music videos. Always still writing, performing, and recording. [fun fact, my youngest son is one of the top songwriters in the music biz, world. Now if I could just catch a break, lol, that would be great! Oh well. So it goes.]
