And when we're busy just plain drinking ourselves to death,
Scott Roberts and I get together and record folk music...which you'll currently find a bit of in the player, and on his myspace....just cello and guitar, or guitar and mandolin depending on who's singing...we're going to start doing more of this music and less of the drinking ourselves to death (hopefully)....
And I occasionally get to perform with Andy Roberts (of the Trespassers) and Matt Tyrell in a little band called The Hollow Log Jubilee...
Influences: my main influence of course is being out in the wild, around a campfire (this one home made with dry stacked stone complete with bench seat and backrests, all carried by hand from the location and placed in a sweet spot in the coastal hills of Baja Norte, Mexico) living as real an existence as I can, as free of work, and free of the usual distractions and confusions we place on modern life...my main influence is freedom and living to tell a good story....
townes van zandt, woody guthrie (and Arlo and Sara Lee), bob dylan, jerry garcia and the grateful dead (especially w/ "Pigpen" 60s and early 70s) , neil young, U2, van morrison, otis redding, charles ives (songs), joan baez, phil ochs, donovan, john denver, harvey reid, todd snider, joe craven, mike marshall and darol anger, blind melon (w/shannon hoon..r.i.p.), kurt cobain / nirvana, eddie vedder / pearl jam, noel gallagher of Oasis (look up the song Cast No Shadow), sonic youth, tori amos, ben harper, david lindley, utah phillips, ani difranco, peter - paul - and mary, KEARTH 101, Crosby Stills Nash and Young....etc etc i'll add more later as i think...
I borrow a lot in my cello playing from years of classical music, favorites there would be Elgar (cello concerto), Brahms (sonata in e minor), and Bach's cello suites......and now, more recently I am falling in love with old time bluegrass and fiddle tunes....
(...Oh! and hey Schatten pickups rock for any of you out there wanting to know....they're handmade in Canada and I feel like it really does capture the true acoustic tone of my sweet cello, and their preamp DI boxes are great too, allowing me to add to my acoustic tone for more bass for plucking out bass lines if i want....)
