Do you play live?

I play local open mic's Play at family get togethers.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

I believe it will open up the music industry for independent artist. The amount of Indie talent out there is staggering. I hope the listening public would just start buying directly from the artist. Look around this site. There are many artist's that offer their music for sale. Very talented, too. Buy from them. That's what will keep the Indies going and maybe it will show the major labels that things need to change.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Not for performing but I would be up for a staff songwriter position


Your influences?

Kristofferson, Beatles, Ricky Nelson, Willie Nelson, Merle. I've been listening to music since the forties. I guess I have been influenced by them all. But mostly by the old timers.

Favorite spot?

My new house in Joelton Tn just a few minutes north of Nashville. Get me close to some of my favorite places like The Bluebird Cafe
