I wrote my first song at 5 years old. It was about Snow White. I had the piano part in my head. I sang it to my family. Mom loved it. My youngest sister Judy made fun of me like any normal 11 year old big sister would do. 8^) I have been in several bands over the years. Blind minds, The acoustics of doom!!, ((Ifnot, Floodgate, Ancient Otis) 3 names same band), Fly, Dustin Khalil, The Pleased, Neanderpaul in various formats including 2 lineups as a 3 piece, one as a 2 piece and solo with my looper, Jim-n-I, Farewell, and probably a few others I'm not remembering. I sang as I said from the get go. At the Church of Christ (a capella) I learned soprano before I can remember, alto very young, bass as a teenager, and tenor after that. Growing up in an a capella church with a Mom that sings beautifully really nailed down my ability to harmonize. I have one looper trick where I do 13 part harmony in a matter of seconds. I didn't learn to play instruments untill I was 22. I still don't read music and I never took a lesson. Now I am 35 and I play the bass, guitar, keys, and most anything you put in front of me. I have recorded around 800 songs. I have 4 basic styles - pop rock, comedy, freaky spoken word, and rock instrumentals.

Paul, Hope the visit went well to the doctors. That new video of your you sent is great... Just uploaded a new tune "Time to Die" When you get a chance, tell me what you think. Have a great week. David
The lawyer representing me is a friend of someone important I know. We're waiting to see if they try and rip my stuff off and sell it without my permission, or if they are coming out with their own originals.
Trust me, I'm doing everything he is advising me to do. He said there is nothing to worry about. For me that is... LOL ;-)
Take care brother! I'll definitely hook up with you when you come play Atlanta in September? Forgot, sorry. Definitely email me when you find out whether it is the 4th or the 5th! We'll be there to support you!
Your amazing! Looping seems so easy in your videos, but I know better... Do you feed your looper through the 'effect send' of a mixer? That's the way I try to make it work. I will ask you for a comment if I finish my own loopsong that's worth listening to.
actually,i was planning on starting a new band as soon as i get home.kinda hard to do that when i'm 2500 mi away.-lol-glad to hear that about the girls.
wow,thats utter awesomeness,Paul!!I'm really glad to hear that.and...it depends which band you're talking about for me.haha.school band,or rock band.school band is fine,i have camp in July.as for Dead Man Dancing..well..not so great.We completely fell apart.haha..n/b/d,though.how are the girls??
stay ahead of the swine flu... go for the cooler climate states, oh wait Michigan just had a heat wave too... seems like you're having a good time-good deal-be safe & see ya soon, later gator...
Hi, Paul, I enjoyed your performance at The Naked Bean Cafe in Shreveport, LA, last night. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me and for becoming a MySpace friend.
