ABOUT

I've been a member here for a long time, I'm still not sure why.

And, of course, there is no "please get me out of here" button. Not that I can find, anyway, but I'll keep on looking. Meantime, if you want me, get me on Facebook, or just google me.

Influences

I am influenced, for better or worse, by every sound I have ever heard, even all that awful 70's pop.

As for INSPIRATIONS, I would begin to talk to you of Hank Williams, John Cage, John Hartford, Roland Kirk, Pythagoras, Satie, Jack Elliot, Ornette Coleman, Woody Guthrie, Marshall Allen, Daevid Allen, Don Cherry, Gary Davis, Paul Chambers, Beethoven, Xenakis, Elizabeth Cotton, Albert Ayler, Joseph Spence, John Coltrane, David Amram, Sun Ra ...

and it would take a very long time.
