Don Francisco, Steve Green, Mani Patinkin, Danny Kaye, Allan Sherman, Spike Jones, Louise Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Andy Williams, Annette Funicello, Dick Van Dyke, George Rock, Hillsong, Twila Paris, and a very long list that could go on for thousands of words....

Living.

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

It depends on what song. Sometimes it is hope. Sometimes it is warning. Sometimes it is praise. Sometimes it is love. Sometimes it is joy. Sometimes it is sorrow. Sometimes it is peace. Sometimes it is a cry for help.

The same way i feel when performing in private.

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

I have no idea what this question refers to.

Lack of time and space to work on a song as I wish to.

I used to, but cannot now with my current work hours.

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

A good head for marketing and either a lot of money or a friend with a lot of money willing to spend it on them.
