I love music, love improvising music, love writing music, and love performing music. Not into drugs or alcohol, that's not why I play. It's personal... I'm into music as expression, and to convey emotions/ideas either with or without words, though not above providing some flash on the guitar as long as the energy is sincere and from the heart. Getting the approval of drunk or half-drunk bar-goers is not the dominating force behind my music, and I hope it never will be. :O) I LOVE to sing, and am a fairly versatile singer with good phrasing... Can really shine vocally, esp when I feel the song. Orig instrument clarinet, studied piano for two years. Self taught on guitar and keyboards since then, and have recently discovered my "inner drummer", who is capable of some surprisingly complex rhythms- but guitar (electric or acoustic) remains my primary instrument. Was blessed with an outstanding ear, can pick up new songs quickly, but tend to avoid music that lacks melody as I get bored fairly easily... Have enough good original songs for 1 or 2 CDS, 30-40 more in progress, actively writing.
