What are you reading? I have a stack of books by the bed and read excerpts from 2 or 3 every night. Travelling With Shadows by Eduardo Pinto is my current poetry reading, James Lee Burke, John Sanford, Louis Lamour are all authors I read on a regular basis. And the Bible. Moment that changed your life? I was dancing and stepped all over a girls’ foot. She begged off the dance floor, saying she had a headache. I didn’t know you could get a headache from sore feet. None the less, she was up and dancing bravely with some else moments later. So, I decided to play a guitar and be in a band so I would never have to give anyone else a headache, other than those who stood too close to the speaker. I was 13 and have been playing ever since. What is your biggest personal regret?

For this one, I used my Roland AC-60 and Godin Multiac nylon string. I have about 85 minutes of wave files on a USB drive that I use for smooth jazz accompaniment, so I used that and played some solo pieces as well. The sound was great from where I sat. My secret weapon is a little pre-amp I bought from a company outside Nashville (Creation Audio Labs). It makes any acoustic pick up come alive with no artifacts or sound coloration. Here's their link, if you are interested in checking it out: http://www.creationaudiolabs.com/mk423 We had two ladies working the crowd and a little pink pail for voluntary donations and made about $400.00 for the cause. My wife has had exploratory surgery with, thankfully, negative results, so I had a personal reason for wanting to help out. http://www.bccancer.bc.ca/default.htm I have noticed that many of the busking acts use reverb, so I added a little to the guitar which sounds great on its own. What is it about reverb that people like in an outdoors setting? |
