Influences
All music has someone doing something wonderful and so many imitations wishing they could do the same. As much as I admire the wonderful... I strive to not be the same!
Sounds Like
Do we have to sound like someone else?
When I first began I heard comparisons, but as my time and experience changed so did the comparisons.
One day not long ago suddenly people stopped comparing me to anyone else.
I'm damn happy to have my own voice be it good or bad!

I'm FIVE years Old. 5 years ago I found myself at the Kerrville Folk Festival sitting by the stench of the bathrooms in 103 degrees. I opened the doors of my van, placed my armless chair out in the sun, put my dozen red valentine care bear dolls near to the street and bathrooms & began to play and sing. I sang night and day and night and day and on or around the 3rd or 4th day some people began to notice.
Then I left for the desert and vowed I’d never live like I had. For the first time in my life I camped the summer months where no one could find me in Utah. In the desert I walked 7 to 10 hours a day and the rest of the time I sang and played my guitar. When I left the desert I was reborn with a new body and playing technique unlike anyone. I had a new sound no one had heard or had a way to compare me to.
I arrived in Portland as planned on my birthday (August 27) at 3 a.m. on the remaining fumes still left in my gas tank with no money to refill it’s tank. My childhood friend met me and allowed me to live with him. For 2 years I learned what my value was as a musician until I could play on the road. I swore I’d never have a daytime job again and I have kept that promise now for 3 years. I spend 2/3rd of my time in Oregon/Washington and 1/3rd in Texas on the most part.
I am one of these rare individuals who own almost nothing. What I wear, the car I drive, the trailer I use on the road almost all of it is gifted to me. I have places (homes, ranches, farms, etc) from one side of the country to the other where folks understand my love, laughter and passion. I have learned how to gain the best friends and enjoy being with the top 1% of humanity without asking for a thing.
I am making HISTORY, but I am not a history lesson.

Hey Marvin...I added you on myspace after you had added me on facebook; had to look at your friends to see if you were safe! LOL And yes I do love to hang out where there is live music of most any kind...it's an addiction. If you make it back in March hollar and perhaps we can have a coffee and visit; I'm all about the talk! LOL Hope all continues to be good in your world! Peace...sy
Darlin! You need to get the version you sent me up on this site RIGHT NOW, 'All for the richness"---- the slower tempo with your inspiration of 1800 fits who you are, this one does not !!! This fast tempo in the version that you have loaded here is all wrong --repeat, all wrong. Its like, not even the same song. These are your muse's orders, and I'm not kidding.
Don't fudge, Get the whole version up, with you guys bantering in the background, highly entertaining and IT IS VINTAGE MARVIN.....okay!? Love you! Lyric xx
Hey Marvin! Thank you for the thoughtful comment - but don't confuse my list of people I'd like to meet with "heroes, that have no character flaws" - lol My only true hero is Christ. All humans, though they may achieve greatness from time to time, are prone to mischief. For example, I think we could all agree(if we are aware) that JFK and Bobby were great statesmen in our country's history. Yet it is no secret that the Kennedy family had some serious skeletons in their closet, and each brother had his own personal issues to deal with as well. The fact remains that they were shot for trying to promote the interests of us average american people, and stepped on some pretty big toes in the process. Keep jammin - music is a beautiful way to bring people together. Also, not unlike being a jester, the rocker(in broad, general sense) seems to be one of the last characters in our culture that is still allowed to poke a stick at things(people and ideas, etc.) and stir them up.
Hey, Marv! Howzbyu? I never come to myspace (forgot I had it!) I do hang around facebook, and twitter. Look for: barbara.slough and @merbrat, respectively.
