About The Music The Songs I enjoy playing and singing popular songs by well-known artists such as; James Taylor, John Denver, Jim Croce, Cat stevens, the Eagles, Don Mclean, and more. These are some of the artists that have inspired me to continue to play over the years. All these artists songs have a timeless aspect which make them as enjoyable to listen to as they were decades ago. The Voice Singing has always been a challenge for me, and at age 51, I have to work at it. With a family to raise, I rarely have enough time to practice. Still, I enjoy singing songs I listened to when I was younger. The Guitars I play both six and 12-string guitars. My 12-string is a Taylor 855 with a unique mustache bridge. I purchased the guitar from a local music store in 1980. I later discovered that Neil Young purchased the same model of guitar from Taylor Guitars around that same time. I also play a Taylor 914-ce, 814c, and 414. The Gear Quality sound is a high priority for me. My live rig is a component PA system comprised of a Pendulum SPS-1 acoustic guitar preamp, Hafler P3000 Amplifier, Lexicon PCM 92 effects processor, and Daedalus speaker cabinets. For recording, I use a pair of Gefell M300 microphones with an Avalon AD2022 preamp. For vocals, a Peluso 2247LE or B.L.U.E. Kiwi with a UA LA-610 channel strip.
