I am an energetic player, musically.
I seek most of the time to inject excitement into the mix, whether it is allowing a note here and there in the background to start to feedback a little, putting some rhytmic chunkiness in the rhythm section, a flourish between verses etc., or jumping out with boldness and audacity when playing lead.

Really enjoy the synchronicity of playing with others, and excercising a musical sense of humore, whether as an ‘inside joke’ with the other musicians, an ‘inside joke’ with a member of the audience, or an open thing for all to enjoy (of which Joe Walsh is a master).

I don’t use recreational drugs. I don’t drink when playing in public. (I rarely drink anyway; 3 or 4 times a year, if that.)

I selected ‘Moderately Committed’ because I have am a 40-Hr/Wk computer professional. I do believe that if I could supplant my income by playing music, I would do it. But music encourages my soul all the time. It is on my mind often when I am not playing, and I believe I’d play all the time if I could arrange it...
