Kindred Spirits

Fly Away

Grew up in the south. Cut my teeth on soul, beach music and country and eventually waded into heavy metal. I like it all. The photo by Hunter Prince.
    The DAW has opened up a world that I could not have even dreamed of when I began playing.  I feel like a painter who has somehow stumbled into a studio full of brushes, canvases and paints.
   I like all music and in it I find human emotion, experience and imagination expressed.  I feel spiritually connected to the human race through music.
