Music lifts my spirits, like songbirds filling the sky.
To be the best person and artist I can be, to live in the pocket of creativity I have created, to build my craft and to maximize my potential on Earth.
Promoting a change of vision for the world, where people are optimistic, peaceful and they care for each other and the environment

I like all music, especially roots-based jazz with a combination of musical voices, most of which sound acoustic, but not necessarily all. My playing seems to fit the Americana genre most of all. I am currently listening to a lot of progressive bluegrass and vocal jazz. The Punch Brothers, Steve Earle, Poor Man Poison, Dead South are some of the bands I've been listening to recently.
Some other worldly compulsion to hear my voice and stories in songs. To soar in those moments of bliss when it all comes together. When I find the groove, settle into the pocket and tell my story through songs, words, and visions.
Find peace with yourself and share it with the world.
Most of the time, like I belong there.
Mostly Do-It-Yourself. More money in the distribution chain would help. Encouraging people to jam and sing together at home always has positive results.
Just getting back into the flow after a long vacation. I like the personal touch. It facilitates the expression of ideas.
Not much these days. Maybe not being able to play daily for some unexpected reason.
I go out when I have friends with me. I don't do too much as a single anymore since I stopped drinking which was quite a while ago. If I know the band and they are one of my favorites, I'll pay for the show and go single.,
You need to be competent as a musician for what you do, and you need marketing skills and accounting skills.
