Bits and pieces of anything I've ever absorbed, digested, and fertilized my creative imagination with, including but not nearly limited to, (in more or less chronological order)... Beatles + Stones + Cream + Hendrix + Led Zeppelin + Jeff Beck + Neil Young + Bob Dylan + The Who + Pink Floyd + The Band + Duane Allman + Carlos Santana + Steely Dan + Frank Zappa + Little Feat + Bob Marley + Talking Heads + The Cars + Roxy Music + The Police + Ry Cooder + Stevie Ray + Muddy Waters + John Lee Hooker + Professor Longhair + The Meters + Dr. John + Leonard Cohen + Peter Gabriel + U2 + Tupac Shakur + Johnny Cash + Django Reinhardt + The Chili Peppers + Green Day + Jack Johnson + Whoever comes next...
WOLFSONG STUDIO offers Guitar Lessons and Bass Guitar Lessons from the heart of Toronto, Ontario, Canada for students of any level of accomplishment, from the age of 10 to 100. Blues, Classic Rock, Folk, Country, and Modern Acoustic Rock (ie. Jack Johnson) are my strong suits. Shredders and Metal Heads need not apply (can't help you, sorry; I can't teach what I don't like... for more info on that, see MY BLOG).
I studied with Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and George Harrison (via vinyl, of course... anyone remember vinyl?) for 8 years, and jammed constantly until my first real live band was ready to hit the road.
That wasn't a very smart thing for an original band to do, playing the bar circuit in Northern Ontario at the time, but we didn't know that... like we didn't know playing Frank Zappa and Ry Cooder back to back would be confusing to an audience. Snazzy Warts died of starvation after 18 months of a wild ride... it was cool.
Twelve or so odd (very odd) years later, I finally got the message; playing in bar bands doing covers wasn't going to get my songwriting noticed. It also wasn't a very good living, and it sure wasn't going to get me the home recording studio I wanted. Also, bands are hard to hold together... everybody has an opinion, and seems to think it's right. And they argue with you about their opinion; who needs that? I stopped banging my head against that particular wall, and went back to school.
I became a psychotherapist because being a graphic artist was too stressful; being a psychotherapist was even more stressful! It did make my lyrics better, though. I guess I learned one important thing in all that time; do what you love or do what you think you have to, and be careful what you ask for. So I got lost for a while, which gave me the opportunity to find myself recording and publishing my tunes online (FOR MORE TUNES. GO HERE), and passing my life experience on by teaching.

Hi there WolfSong Studio first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark www.tthlabel.com so that in the even that we do close our myspace account you will not loose contact with us. Thanks again for being our myspace pal!
