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

Music is something inside that provides me the opportunity to review my life, create and interact with other musicians in a special place plus fans.

What is your music dream?

No real dream beyond hoping people are willing to listen and find a song that they can relate to and most of all enjoy.

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

Wow a biggie, many things are not what they seem including our education to put career's, money and working before family and the earth. I come from the times before TV let along the space we see changing in this digital world where it seems everyone wants something or someone if the price is right.... yeah its a biggie

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Too many to have one

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Dylan, Beatles, Mark Knopfler , Peter Gabriel, Jimmy Hendrix, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Joe Bonamassa,

What inspires you to make music?

Sounds, Sights, Love, Sadness and lifes complex journey all that proves wondering and explaining

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

That dreaming is good but doing is even better

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

Its an ego thing a bit we play live for approval. Best thing is when someone taps a hand or nods a head and shows appreciation... it makes it worthwhile

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

The life of most musicians is one of being financially under appreciated. Guess continued education that paying to hear live music a good thing. Ensuring some money lands in the musicians hands even better.

What do you think of Drooble?

Sort of a different vehicle to spread the word too early to tell from my brief exposure.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

So many make money in music but at the bottom of the food train is the musicians providing it except for a select few.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

Seeing local bands and helping young musicians grow and have confidence in their sound.

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

A business like approach and a specific goal (beyond the music) which they focus attention towards so they can spread the word. Strong digital skills will be essential to grow a fan base.
