My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 28/07/2008
Influences: The first guitarist I saw live that made me realize the possibilities of solo acoustic guitar was Washington DC classical/blues musician the late Bill Harris ( 1925-1988).He'd perform old time acoustic blues sets at DC SPace and then solo classical guitar concerts at The Kennedy Center...I've also been influenced by lots of travelling around with a guitar,( Indonesia, Iceland, Ireland )8 years at sea, and living way out in the woods!
Record Label: Unsigned
