I have been playing for 40 years and recording for 20+ years. I have worked in Audio and Video on a professional level. My main instrument training is in Spanish/Classical guitar which I studied for 20+ years. I have collaborated with people all over the world and have been introduced to many styles of music. I am currently a solo artist with a very nice studio and enjoy recording and creating music for pleasure and my own sanity.
Music is everything to me.
At this point in my life - simply to enjoy music and creating and recording and to share it with other people.
Common Sense and Courtesy.
Impossible to answer there are too many.
There are a lot but primarily Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robin Trower and the Moody Blues.
It is more like I can't not play and record music.
To inspire on an emotional level. To tell a musical story. To say what words can't express.
Exhilarated! Connected to the world and the people in it.
More focus on the music itself instead of trying to be somebody.
Now a days computer software problems. Digital is great and has it's pros but it can't beat the sound of analog. You can't make digital sound like analog.
I don't have much time to get out but I do when I can.
Confidence, determination but most of all an insatiable passion for music.
