I prefer Taylor Guitars. I have an 814ce, K65ce, 314ce and a Timberline custom Engelmann/Rosewood 12 string.
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
Chet Atkins.
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
Two of the biggest was back in the 60's when I was playing in R&B bands. '67 I was playing with the Night Sounds out of Tucson. Opened for the Doors, 14,000. In '68 I was with the Rick Durham Band out of Little Rock. Opened for the Rolling Stones in LA, 20,000+. The smallest, ...probably a coffee house somewhere 13 or 14 years ago, maybe 10.
