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

Music, to me, is air...oxygen...it's my religion, my life.

What is your music dream?

To be able to make more than a comfortable living doing the thing I love.

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

Eliminate money, go back to a better, newer barter-type system. We have all the technology and resources we need in order to just...SHARE!!!

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

The Human League - Don't You Want Me...I'm not sure why that's the one that comes to mind, but it was\is a favorite for years.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

SRV, Vince Gill, Chet Atkins, Mark Knopfler, Joe Walsh, Huey Lewis, David Gilmour, Robert Cray, Fleetwood Mac, Meg O'Brien & No Fixed Address, Quarterline...and a whole host of others!!!

What inspires you to make music?

Life.

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

Finally, an easy question! The simple answer is: "Positivity"... With all the hurt and negativity in the world, there needs to be an equal and very opposite influx of Positivity...if you convince yourself you can do something, you'll be able to! (There's more to it than that, but that's a great starting point, don't you think?)

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

It's (almost) the greatest feeling I have ever experienced...truly.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Not being paid what we are worth...we put the same, sometimes more, effort into our craft than many "professionals" (Doctors, Lawyers, that type) do...and yet, what we do is still called "playing"!!!

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

Unfortunately, my answer would have to be: Have money. :(
