MUSICAL TRAINING
Studied too much piano when young, finally got to violin at 13( which is what I wanted in the first place) played for 3 yrs, lost interest, discovered Hendrix, Santana, and girls, picked up the guitar, took 3 lessons at local music store, learned how to play "smoke on the water"& "wild thing" and quit lessons. Then started to take guitar seriously. Discovered jazz and Bill De Arango (played with Bird way back) who taught me how to listen to music/ improv. Saw Fripp(for the first time, hearing too) and league of Gentlmen Show in 79...blows a head gasket...Fall 84 took my first "drum" lesson with Linda

Styles Of
Music
| This music has ambient qualities, as well as nonambient ones....you call it what You want.... 80% Improvisation, lots of Looping too...It is mostly influenced by everything that the founding fathers(cough cough) were not influenced by....my Ancestors, and all cultures that share the need to connect with the Greater Spirit that holds us in its arms in the form of the Earth....in every Moment, not just on the weekends. |
