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

Music is meditation and religion. It's quiet focus, introspection, or raucous ecstatic religious experience. Music is love. Music is joy.

What is your music dream?

I'm living my dream. Get a little better every day. share it with people who want to hear it. Yeah, yeah, money would be great, but I'll do bigger shows when more ears want to hear.

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

Greed has to go.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Great Balls of Fire, by Jerry Lee Lewis!

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Jason Isbell, Kiss, K.D. Lang, Van Halen, The Grateful Dead, My friends

What inspires you to make music?

Music inspires me to make music

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

I love my life. I want to share that joy with people who want it and with people who need it.

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

I love to perform. I feel at home on a stage.

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

I think it kinda sucks right now as we transition from old school music publishing to new models we don't yet completely understand. Eventually, as we get a handle on our technology a musician will create something and give it to the world directly and be fairly compensated for the art. We aren't there yet, but I am hopeful.

What do you think of Drooble?

Drooble has the potential to be something truly groundbreaking and exceptional. We'll see how it pans out. But again, I have hope.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

I kinda hate the business and hustle of trying to line up shows.

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

I go to a lot of live music!

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

Be willing to be broke! and be willing to play, whenever, wherever you can.

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

First of all, there is myself! But if you're in Western Mass, look me up and I'll take you to see Wildcat O'Halloran. If you like the blues, you won't be sorry.
