Instrumental Guitar Rock/Pop with a "Twist"!
Band/artist history
Started doing Multitrack recording over 30 years ago,with a high tech arsenal of a Squire Strat, a cheap Harmony acoustic, about a million(!) Boss & DOD FX pedals, a Korg DDD-5 Drum Machine & Radio Shack Cond. Mic,& Stereo Cassette deck,capped off with a state of the art (LOL!) Yamaha MT-100 Four track cassette recorder! My "Bass" in those days would be the low "E" string played thru an octave pedal, 'natch! Then a little over a year after getting my first mtx., I moved up in a BIG way (for ME,anyway at the time) to 8 tracks w/ that ol' warhorse, the Fostex R-8, AND a real mixing board (Fostex 450), my first couple of rack FX (Rane graphic EQ, and THE original Alesis Quadraverb!), a REAL Mic (Shure 869,& a SM57),and also a new Drum Machine (Roland R-8), & a REAL Bass Guitar (Squire) Still growing & evolving over the years,.musically & equipment-wise, call me the unknown "Tom Scholtz"(LOL!),tinkering away in my "basement" studio (actually the "dining" room of my one bedroom apartment!!)
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Nope! My "15 mins" of fame was as a anonymous percussionist in my High School Marching Band,playing with about 20+ other HS Marching Bands at the nationally televised half time show of the 1979 annual Cal-Stanford football game at Stanford Stadium!
Your musical influences
The three big ones for me,growing up in the Late '60's & '70's are The Beatles,Led Zeppelin & classic Black Sabbath. Basically Classic 60's/70's rock, being a child of the 70's,all the way! I do like some of the 80's to now stuff;also fond of classic R&B/Soul from the 60's/70's,.but have almost NO tolerance for the modern day stuff, & especially Rap/Hip-Hop, most of which I personally find offensive & repulsive,and in some cases quite racist! Not my generation at all! I like a lot of old Country also! Some Jazz & classical too!
