I'm essentially a one-man home studio production unit. I write, play, sing, record, edit in my off-grid solar-powered rural home, and connect with the world via satellite internet. I can play several instruments, but dwell mostly on guitars, both electric and acoustic, 6-string, baritone, and bass.
Band/artist history
Started writing and playing in the 60s, in my native Kentucky. Recorded a self-produced single in a basement studio in Central City, which led to a connection with RCA Nashville. We (my brother Richard, Steve White and I) recorded two songs, a single was released and went nowhere - the Nashville brass decided to have us cover a Mann/Weill song, and someone else had the hit, and we were instant history. I relocated to Toronto, then to the country north of TO, then rural west Quebec, all the time dragging guitars and an obsession with writing and recording along for the ride.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I play live locally on occasion. I don't especially relish it, as it's usually a compromise of the sounds I imagine, with the sounds I can actualize in real time. I prefer recording.
