A full spectrum, educated musician. Generally pretty laid back, Chill factor set to maximum. No huge ego. No drama. Great sense of humor. Currently engaged as a bassist for a 90's era classic rock band doing music by Stone Temple Pilots, Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains and the like. Working hard at it and having fun. I play and practice every day. Ya gotta do the reps...
Music is the fabric of my life. It rounds me out and gives balance to the stressors of modern life.
To be a musician that other musicians appreciate.
I start with the first stranger that I meet, eye contact, a smile, acknowledgment that no matter their status in life, that there's basic human respect.
My memory goes to the back tot he mid-sixties and discovering Simon and Garfunkles "Homeward Bound" and choosing that as my own.
This varies day to day, week to week, and year to year and flow with my moods. I set no limits by genre.
It is those moments when the muse sits in and something new and delightful emerges.
Just be. Let go. Have fun. Be good to one another.
Exuberant.
A lot has changed in my lifetime. Venues are not what they used to be. On the plus side, the digital revolution has given more access for people to exercise their creativity.
Too early too tell.
Living in a backwater town and a lack of educated musicians to engage with. There is so much mysticism about making music that usually overlooks the fact that much of it is attained through hard work and dedication.
I donate to youth music organizations and get out to see shows as much as possible.
Persistence is the mother of success.
"Angle of Incidence" is a local progressive rock band that has a killer lineup writing and playing in very creative ways.
