I grew up in Germany to the music of the Byrds, Dyland, The Weavers, Peter, Paul & Mary, Big Bill Bronzy, Paxton and Guthry but also Classical, Cletic, Irish, Flamenco as well as Brazilian music. My father being the one getting me on the hook of the guitar at 5. Played in a few bands as a teen and started solo in Muenchen ( Munich, Germany) in '75-78 followed by 2 years of travels and basking off and on in Paris, NY and San Francisco. Stopped actively playing when I returned to Muenchen in '79 to pursued a professional career in exhibit building that took me eventually back to the US and Canada in '84. I kept playing guitar alive after my son was born the same way my dad did, in the evening to put him to sleep when I had time! 6 years ago supporting my son's Montessori school in Cambria CA I started playing again in public for a benefit fund raiser. Spurred on by many request for a CD and a good push 2 years ago by my loving new wife Desiree I finally made a CD with the help of my ex neighbor & friend Jill Knight. This is still a mix of old and new tunes recorded in a mere 3 days. Finally having some more time on my hands I am able to focus more on new songs that evolve right now and I hope that some of the new material that I consider well above the level of the first try will be available soon. Most of my music is influenced by strong visual impacts and the pain of relation ships gone south. A big hug to all of you that enjoy it! Cheers! Sven
