Sounds Like: Warm apple pie... mmmmm
Wait, that might not be correct... Truth is that I don't aim to sound like anyone (or anything-including edible objects), and I don't reckon anybody should for that matter. I'd hope that my songs and playing are unique, but I guess they will sound like some of my influences... note: Michael "Hans Solo" Hanley takes no responsibility for what he may/may not sound like, and all complaints should be hand-written and include a self addressed envelope and sent care of :
