My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/31/2005
Band Members: Geez, what to say about members, people I've played with.....I suppose it's the same for any muso. The best part of being involved with music is probably the same for all of us, whether you're John Travolta or John Shuttleworth. (Actually, that would be a great duet......) It's being around other musos. It's interacting with peers. It's showing the latest thing you've written or rehearsed or being inspired by that which has been performed by others. It's the people you share a boozy stage with for half an hour, the people you've shared a sweaty studio with for a week, or the guy at the bar who shakes your hand and tells you you did good.I've been lucky enough to meet the most amazing people over the years, just because I play an instrument. Some I haven't seen in years. Some I may have known for only day. Some I've never shook off, despite my numerous changes of address. Whatever, each and every one of them touched my life and I touched theirs and that's what music does. Each and every one a friend.
Influences: Elton John, Sting, Eric Clapton, Green Day, Oasis, Ben Folds, Greg Oldfield, Gary Jules, Damien Rice....
Sounds Like: Elton John, Lena Marlin, Gary Jules, Paul Simon, folk/songwriter stuff
Record Label: UNSIGNED!!!! GET IN THERE WHILE YOU CAN!!
Type of Label: None

Fishing lessons

Give a man a fish and he'll build his own well, but teach a man how to fish and he'll fish for his own water.
