I play
guitar, piano, bass, percussion and vocals. I recorded many of the instruments with
various Korg, Roland and Ensonic work station synthesizers. Though I was influenced
by a great variety of recording artists, I am |
proud
to say I don't sound like any of them. I usually jam on the guitar or the piano. Then a
story, situation or sentence pops into my head
at which time a whole song is born. Everything else will keep me up all night. |
 |
Most of my songs take a humorous stab at a situation the lyrics describe. They can contain
a bit of mystery or social criticism. I'm an avid reader of psychology,
philosophy, modern day mythology, and science. As a psychological counselor (my
profession), I sometimes include a sort of problem solving
|
into
some songs. I am by no means a schooled musician. I couldn't show you a F minor on the
guitar. I compose like I speak or think. My ability to play musical instruments is pure
creativity. I listen and learn as I go. My music is hard to categorize. It is a bit
progressive, pop-rock and "..bring in the brass section". There's blues, swing,
raggae and rock all meshed together. Nothing seems to fit the commercial or mainstream
machine. Maybe it does, but I am too bias to notice. You decide! |

All the
songs were recorded on an
8-Track Reel-To Reel Multi-Track recorder and mixed down to DAT. I recently purchased a
12-Track digital recorder which allowed me to transfer the original eight tracks to the
digital domain, so I could get a clean mix into my computer for my CD-
recordable disc drive. My |
new
workstation is the Triton. I probably would have been better off buying a space
shuttle. |
