Influences
My Father was the most hardest working, toughest, fair, and honest guy I ever knew. Yngwie J Malmsteen, Ritchie Blackmore, Gary Moore, Wes montgomery, Pat Martino, Steve Vai, Joe Stump, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Robin Trower, Alvin Lee, Albert Collins, Johnny Winter, Duke Robillard, Ronnie Earl and Johnny Tamer. Their are just so many great players I listen to them all. Just play your ass off. Less is less and more is more. Never studied formerly. Growing up we never really had money so school was out. Jaco Pastorious used the phrase formally self taught. I taught myself to read music, bass and treble clef and studied books on theory and scales and harmony. I still Practice every day and learn everything I can. Now I teach to help support the income. Play 100- 150 dates a year for the last 15 years. No matter how bad the music business sucks I still find peace in Playing.Order our cd at thhttp://www. abookyouwant.

3 piece sounds full and very musical not just a power trio. Melody Rhythm and Harmony. pretty simple. Sometimes you can hear many different influences in one song. And that varies from night to night. Every day is another chance to stretch the boundries.I love Led Zepplin 1&2, Allman Brothers live at the Filmore, Alvin Lee Woodstock Goin Home, Hendrix Woodstock, Deep Purple made in Japan, Ritchie Blackmore's live Rainbow, Yngwie J Malmsteen's Rising Force, Yngwie live Spanish Castle Magic, lou Reed Rock & Roll Animal, Great Melodic Guitar from steve Hunter and Dick Wagner, Steve Vai Tender surrender. Wes Montgomery Smokin at the half note. Anything live. And of course great production.

Even thought I front my own act I also can be hired as a fill in for any one. Tell me what to do and I will do it. I take great direction. I know what its like to be leader and follower.(Leadership)
A strong leader rids him or her of negative influences such as negative persons. Negative people will rob you of your dreams and energy and weigh you down like trying to swim with your legs in hardened concrete. They are a cancer on our team or in your personal life. Cut them Out! I find that one person is never more important than the Music, self Importance is a cancer self esteem is a good thing. Never think too highly of oneself, keep the importance on the work the rest will fall into place. Furthermore, a true leader must keep his mind and abilities sharp Dicpline and focus are important. Practicing is my priority not something I find time for, I make time to practice and love every minute of it. I am Happy to say to make a living doing what you love is a gift, so I try to keep that in front of myself. I guess you could say I am a very rich man and very fourtunate. I have people in my life who I love and who love me. Its funny, the older I get the more I believe in dreams and spirituality, and that is not some old cliche but very true if you nurture that belief.Some people embrace it, some resent it. So don't compromise your true beliefs for anything. Keep on learning and moving forward. I think tragedy Has a profound way of shaping beliefs and definitely humbles and teaches that we are not in charge.
