Me, myself, and I. Sometimes other people. But almost never. Occasionally. Not really. Then again...
Influences
My intro into modern music consisted of Olivia Newton-John and Billy Joel. People who’ve affected me? Phyllis. Los Guapos. The Jealous Husbands. The Dunbars. The Mucho Machos. Anthony Newes. Quade. Co-Deadly. Me.
Sounds Like
...just a guy and his guitar, singing his heart out.
Hank to Neil Diamond to Danzig to The Pixies.
Listen - it's simple. I'm a cover artiste. Nothing I can do about that. Hell, I wouldn't want to. I play a lot of songs that you'll pretend you don't like, but if no one's listening, you'll quietly hum it to yourself. And you won't be angry about it. So if you like old country, or Neil Diamond, or everything in between and on the outside of those two things, come have a listen. I've got fingers!
So it sounds like we'll be sleeping under the same roof on your wedding night. Unless y'all are planning to stay in one of the many swank hotels in your fair city. How does that make you feel?

Hey, where you been? Maternity leave? Touring nationally? Maybe on a cattle drive? The Northfield club scene grows dingy without you. Tumbleweeds everywhere! As I'm sure you know, the new Neil Diamond ROCKS. See you at a March show I guess...
A Fort Bragg soldier was killed after a bar fight triggered by an argument over a Jimmy Buffet song playing on a jukebox. Steamboat Springs police said 37-year-old Richard Lopez and two of his friends played the song at the Tap House bar and two other people started arguing with them over it. Lopez's family told The Denver Post the song was "Margaritaville. "
I think you,CQ, and that other guy should try and cover "Close to me". That other guy could sing while you play your horn and CQ could just stand there and look good. I'm sure it would be a crowd pleaser.
