Influences are too broad to cover, from 60s Brit Invasion to Zepp and the other 70s classic pre-metal and prog rockers to early '80s old-school punk to Jazz from Brubeck to Thelonius. And in general, all thins guitar. I got my first laminated starter axe, a Yamaha FG-75, in 1969 for my 10th birthday and it's still a great beater. I've gone through some 70s Japanese guitars (Univox, Ibanez Les Paul) and spent a lot of time with a '70s Telecaster. Today my main guitars are a Martin D-28 acoustic, a 1989 Fender Strat Plus and the guitar I will be buried with, a 2003 Hofner Jazzica, the 1st of 50 to come out of the violin finishing shop that year.

I took about two years of lessons when I ws 10 to 12 years old. Mel Bay just beat the poop out of me as a kid. So I've been laying by ear ever since. My chops are stuck in teh 60s and 70s. But there was some good music in the 70s. I never could and never will be able or interested in doing faithful covers.

--Strat Plus, Hofner Jazzica, Martin D-28, some other toys (Teisco Del Rey, some other fun junk) --Boss GT-6 floor unit, Fender Pro-Reverb (silverface), mics, a bunch of BOSS stomp boxes I don't need. --Some BOSS stomp-boxes I hope YOU will want to buy from me! (Contact me if you do.) --A couple of condenser mics and other garbage mics. --Interface: PreSonus Inspire 1394 replaced a noisy Griffin iMic in early 2008.

GB3. I couldn't figure out iDrum, or my vintage 80s Alesis HR-16 drum machine. Not too fond of loops, either. Drummers: You're welcome to contact me if you want to collab.
