What sets you apart from other singer/songwriters? I try to write timeless songs. Songs that do not categorize you into any one genre or time period. Sometimes you can’t help being influenced by the sounds going on at the time. Do you consider yourself primarily a singer, a songwriter or a guitarist? All. If I had been asked that 10 years ago I would have said guitarist. But now I have expanded my mind! (laughter). How many songs have you written? Maybe a couple hundred, in various forms of completion, from recorded and on CD’s to half completed scraps strung together, waiting for the right moment for the muse to re-appear! Why do you play? That’s as interesting question. I guess it’s kind of a cliché but I guess it’s just who I am. It’s just what I do. Always have and I’m sure always will. Playing music and writing songs have both been a thread throughout my life. No matter what age, what girlfriend, what city, pet, what car, what job, what school, up or down, I’ve always had music as a tread running through my entire life. Kinda nice to have something like that to turn to when things are good and when things maybe are not quite so good. What is the allure of being on stage? Mmmm… I don’t know, I guess for some people, like me, I guess, there is a need for attention, to be the star. I know for myself there is also the idea that I like the feeling of making people happy. I love to look in the audience and see people smiling! It also really gives me great pleasure seeing people dance to my music while I’m playing! I’ve been known to get right down onto the dance floor with them and rock out!
