What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is the ultimate mood enhancer. It gives me whatever I'm looking for at the moment, be it love, conflict, humor, etc. and is the perfect way to escape for a while.

What is your music dream?

To play out before I die.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

I would give the human race the ability to retain gratitude. In other words we wouldn't forget our initial thankfulness for whatever, we wouldn't "get used to it"

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Joe Walsh, Inner Tube/Theme from Boat Weirdos

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Kansas, Heart, Joe Walsh, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Karen Carpenter, Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, geez I could go on and on.

What inspires you to make music?

The fact that I can actually do this well. The need to express myself. The look of appreciation in people's eyes.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Many. None. Intelligence.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Electric. Inspired. But also like I better get this right!

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Don't get me started. Loose the auto tune. Get a real drummer. Take responsibility for what you're dumping on the world.

What do you think of Drooble?

It's fine.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Myself. I should have dove in head first 40 years ago.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

Some. I do the local bar scene and support local bands I like occasionally.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?
