I have been playing and making music since about 12 years old...started with piano..then guitar...my Dad was a Jazz tenor saxophonist and I was always surrounded by great music growing up...
What was the first concert you ever went to?
Hmmm..let's see...first major concert in an arena was the band Kansas...I remember they had a very cool laser show and Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush opened for them....
What gear do you use?
I have owned and loved and played many instruments over the years and love gear...
Right now I play Gibson Les Pauls...a '60s deluxe and a custom....i also own a Fender Vibrolux vintage reissue and two sansanp rack mount units...the original and the PSA1...and other various amps, pedals and assorted gear!!! Too many to mention here now...
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
I have so many wonderful talented and legendary musical influences and heroes! Mostly from the 60's and '70's eras...The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith, Bad Company, Deep Purple, Stevie Wonder, Sly and the Family Stone...so...so many...too many to list now...
