Singer Songwriter & Guitarist
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.
No real dream beyond hoping people are willing to listen and find a song that they can relate to and most of all enjoy.
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
Too many to have one
Dylan, Beatles, Mark Knopfler , Peter Gabriel, Jimmy Hendrix, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Joe Bonamassa,
Sounds, Sights, Love, Sadness and lifes complex journey all that proves wondering and explaining
That dreaming is good but doing is even better
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
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.
Sort of a different vehicle to spread the word too early to tell from my brief exposure.
So many make money in music but at the bottom of the food train is the musicians providing it except for a select few.
Seeing local bands and helping young musicians grow and have confidence in their sound.
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.
