Sounds Like
This is a tough one. I don't really think that I sound like anyone I know, but some say that some of my material resembles Neil Young (Though I'm still convinced that I don't sound like him ;-)
After having tried to play the flute for a couple of months at the age
of ten I was given a cheap guitar for x-mas and immediatly realised
that this was home.
I started guitar lessons the following year with immediate succes.
Later, in the age of 14 or 15
(don't remember exactly) I switched to
bass instead, as I was always missing the big groove, and as
guitarplayers emerged in my surroundings who could do it just as good,
or even better than myself. It wouldn't be fair not to mention
Jaco Pastorius' breakthrough as an important factor behind the
decision.
Through the times
I've played in a lot of different groups, mostly as
a sideman, but rediscovered the joy of the creative process through a
workshop that I attended in 2003, led by Brett Perkins.
The following summer
I attended "Listening Room International
Songwriters Retreat" on Samsoe, after which I had to consider myself
seriously hooked on composition and co-writing. In 2004 a similar
event took me to Gotland, Sweden, for a week; and in 2005 I revisited
both annual events.
These adventures
- in connection with slight pressure from well
meaning peers (thanks! - You know who you are) - somewhat transformed
me from a dedicated sideman (who could be persuaded to sing a chorus
line here and there) into a performing songwriter in my own right,
only backed by my acoustic guitar. A great joy for me has been to
experience other artists cover my songs. Among my inspirations it
would be fair to mention John Hiatt, Joni Mitchell, Lowell George, Jackson Browne and Neil Young.
NOTE!
Please try to avoid HTML in your comments. I've disallowed it already in my preferences, but MySpace doesn't seem very efficient at weeding the code out. It doesn't look so good when it gets through after all, and I'd hate to delete any well meant comments because they look like a lot of noise.
Furthermore I wont accept comments containing self-promotion from anybody unless it has my name in it ;-).
"TOP FRIENDS"
Based on a couple of proposals I've received, I'll address the "Top Friends" subject here.
I've had a funny bipolar point of view towards this phaenomena. I guess the difference between friends and aquaintances appears to be left largely to personal definition.
Anyway I have chosen to be ruthlessly honest about it. I swap my "Top Friends" from time to time, and anybody present among those are either people who do the same for me, or make me look exceptionally good. Probably just like the majority of you guys do it, after all ;-)))
