Award Winning Local Legend Spills the Beans! Tell us about the first song you wrote. Do you still play it? I started songwriting in high school and those first few tunes escape me now!

What do you remember about the first song you ever wrote? Do you still play it? This question prompted me to dig out my first books of scribblings. The earliest poem was March 1969 age 16. The first with guitar chords written alongside was June 69. It was a very simple and naive: crave for freedom/liberty/liberation involving seagulls soaring and the like. I haven't seen this in decades and I have it recorded on a cassette somewhere. I have no […]

Which bands & artists have influenced your own music? Loads! I really admire artists that are authentic - the greatest thing a singer can do is make you believe them, everything else is secondary to that. Personality goes a long way too! I really like Howe Gelb, The Handsome Family, Tom Waits, and Warren Zevon. Bruce Springsteen and Willie Nelson also fit into this category. Locally, Rebecca Richards and Bob Fitzgerald both have such a crystalline high quality to their […]
