ABOUT ME:
I've been writing, teaching, recording and traveling around the US playing music for over a decade. This is my 5th FAWM and I've completed 2 (and two half) 50/90 challenges.
I have always been torn between two major types of influences... Great lyricist and instrumental virtuosos. I try make little extra challenges for myself to try new techniques/instruments/styles that I would normally not do or have never done... and hopefully get a little more proficient in the process.
Why Do I do it???
I love to create... not every song will be a hit song but every song has a purpose... however large or small. This quote kind of sums it up for me: "Nobody will stop you from creating. Do it tonight. Do it tomorrow. That is the way to make your soul grow - whether there is a market for it or not! The kick of creation is the act of creating, not anything that happens afterward." - Kurt Vonnegut
