In the beginning there was guitars... and they were good....

I play live somewhat rarely, I'm more of a songwriter/recording artist than a performer; that has started changing more in recent months.

There is not enough space to include all of them, I'm a music junkie so I listen to all kinds from all eras. The obvious choices, Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, Rush, Toadies, Butthole Surfers, Stone Temple Pilots, Brian Johnstown Massacre, Buckethead, Joe Satriani, Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters, Robin Trower, Jimmie Vaughn, Alvin Lee, Rory Gallagher, Rod Price, Chet Atkins

Accoustics I play a 1960s Telestar I've owned since I started playing. Primarily I use a Ventura Dreadnaught with D' Addario strings on everything. Electric I play an old modified Silvertone Stratocaster that started as an unplayable creature that required much tweeking, it's name is Friga. I used to play a Kramer in the '80s now long gone as is my Gibson Les Paul. I later fell in love with Dean Guitars when my son bought a V. The necks are awesome with superb action, the whole ax is lightweight unlike the Les Paul which was like carrying around a bag of bricks. My Dean is named Hellga, it is a Ventura not a real high end guitar. But playing it in the store it sounded better than anything that was there the day I went shopping. It's been a love story ever since. What a great ax! I use a chorus pedal sometimes and often use a Digitech multi-effects pedal which runs through a Dean amplifier also a low-end model until that sponsor comes through with something better, hint hint....
