I prefer to make common cause with those whose weapons are guitars, banjos, fiddles and words.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When we moved back to the US, folk music was all the rage. So I traded in my banjo for a guitar.
Most of my instruments are handmade.
All of my writing has guitars behind it, even the novels.
I'll always do the guitar parts since it's my main instrument.
I play these sort of comical instruments I invented, like the electric rake and the electric plunger. I do a lot of almost stand-up comedy material. Just the juxtaposition of the different styles in itself sometimes is funny. Like, I do sort of an acoustic version of 'Purple Haze' that has some bluegrass licks in it.
I do seem to like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.
I detest talking about myself. There is a reason why people pick up an instrument and put it between themselves and the rest of the world.
Still others want a traditional guitar sound if they call you for guitar.
Creating sounds together with other musicians is something I've always liked doing.
I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.
