As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.

I thought I might be a band instructor, someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others.

Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

My heart and soul are in the Stratocaster

I love drums and still play frequently.

As much as I love performing, nothing juices me up creatively like being in my own studio for an extended period. Songs, ideas, even paintings are pouring out of me. My inspiration and usual subject matter: life.
