Bio:
The world seems just a little bit different now that I've moved to another part of it. I'm still an old fella gettin' older, but life is different. I no longer have a studio, so I'm not teaching right now, but I am gigging a bit more than I thought I would, being the new guy on this chunk of the planet. I've already got my boots muddy, but I suspect things will change a bit when I finally get some roots deeper into the ground.

Music Background I was in country-rock and country bands when I was younger, but for the first five years of my life I was listening to blues and jug band music being played on the front porch of my Dad's house. Some things just stick with you and never go away... no matter how much you scrub.
Music Skills I don't have any skill. I just play guitar, dobro, banjo, dulcimer, mandolin... and I can make a real mess on harmonica.
Music Hardware I got rid of all my expensive gear... traded it in for instruments. Right now I use a small Behringer board with either a Behringer B2 condenser, or my Shure PG48 along with my Shure SM57. Live, I use my MXL C10 condensers with either my Roland AC-60 or my big Alto 450 watt powered speaker.
Music Software I've got Logic, Cakewalk, Reason, Protools, Garageband... you name it. I've tried 'em all. I use Amadeus, an inexpensive program that I found on a shareware site. It does more than I need. I would use Garageband more, but when I updated to OSX 5.7 Garageband went screwy on me, and I don't know how to fix it.
