Love playing the Chapman stick and bass, as well as electronics.Fell in love
with treated and psychedelic guitar. The Kinks “You Really Got Me”, Cream “Sunshine of
Your Love” (all of Disraeli Gears), Hendrix “Foxy Lady”, and dare I say it Iron
Butterflies “In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida”.
Now take
these hard, jagged, inventive sounds and mix it with my next love… Music that
makes you want to get up and move. And at that time what better foot moving
sound than that of Motown. James Brown, the Temptations, Aretha, The Four Tops,
Smokey, and the Motown Catalogue.
Now because
I liked creating music, quite often I learned the main parts or riffs of a song
and then I would wander off and improvise. To me that was the most fascinating
part of playing music. I enjoy the Risk of blowing it or pulling it off.
