Today I have a Blues collection that would make a program director blush. I'm truly a Blues junkie. I still dig other types of music, and I always want to embrace all of the musical influences that I have absorbed over the years. My first band in High School was a Reggae band with myself playing keyboards and singing. To me all roots music is related, be it Blues, Reggae, Zydeco, or whatever.
Music is about feelings and telling a story.
I came out to California in the early 90's. After writing and playing in local coffee houses for a couple of years, I helped start up a Blues based band in Orange County called, Facing North. We had a good following especially with the college crowd, but that outfit ended too soon. Personalities and creative difference stopped us before we really got started. Not an uncommon tale.
