Now, more personally:
I started playing music while in the 4th grade, back in the early 1970's, when I was encouraged to try playing a clarinet in the school "band." That did not work out very well. I ventured into playing an electric guitar about the same time. However, it was not until 1979 that I became dedicated to learning the guitar.
In the 1980's and 1990's, I was a radio DJ and a radio station technician/engineer. I also worked as a sound engineer for live venues, and was part of a musical team, where I played rythm guitar and occassional drums.
After 2000, I became more dedicated to songwriting. In 2007, I decided to become a professional songwriter as well as a performing artist.
I play a Peavey T-60 electric guitar, and two Taylor acoustic/electric guitars, the 614ce and the T-5. I use Line6 and Genz Benz equipment.
On this page, you'll hear examples of ideas that are being tried in my humble and meager home studio (a very modest starting point). The recordings feature the Taylor and Peavey guitars, and sometimes keyboard as well as my vocals.
Watch the blog for the latest notes and comments regarding the music. Would you also please leave a comment about which song ideas and sounds you liked, or disliked? Your honest feedback is appreciated. Thank you.
I am also an author (science-related), magazine article writer, and a sound engineer. I enjoy amateur radio (also known as Ham Radio), among other activities. In the day-to-day work in the computer field, I repair computers, design websites, and related tasks.

Please, leave a comment on your favorite of my samples. Comment on what you think should be changed, improved, or just left as is. I know, it takes some time to do this, but, isn't that what real social networking is all about?
Do you have comments?I only approve comments that are about my music, or are from friends that are involved in a real two-way, give-and-take friendship and networking connection with me.
I no longer approve comments that are simply advertisements, even if slightly disguised.
Perhaps you are wondering why I am selective. This page is about my musical journey; where I have come from, where I am now, and where I am going. Additionally, it is a place where I want to meet other musicians and people who appreciate music, perhaps mine.
I am not your advertisement page. I don't mind a friend or fellow musican coming here and discussing or commenting about my music, and then they have a signature about themselves. That would be fine.
Please: if you wish to be a friend or if you wish to network with me, actually read my bio and other information, and actually listen to my sample music tracks. Then, leave comments about how you like or dislike something. Tell me what worked for you, or what I could change or improve upon. Take the time to develop a connection with me.
I try to answer as much as possible, but I only place comments about my music on my page. I think that is what this page should be about. So please listen to my music and tell me what you think about it.
With that said, I am now going to tell you about myself. I am going to write in the first-person, because I am promoting myself on this page. I do not have an assistant or publicist.

Do you want to be added as a friend?
I really appreciate it when new 'friends' take the time to hear my music, and then actually comment on it with some depth.What did you like about my music? What did you not like? What song or riff was cool, and why? Do you have some suggestions on improving my playing of the guitar?
Please take the time to actually read and listen to the material on my space, if you want to really be a friend. I don't go for mindless 'advertisement' schemes... I go for building friendships and networking. Thank you .... Tomas David Hood
Check out this playing! This takes a lot of work...
