When I was younger, I made a run on the Nashville Music Business, specifically singing and writing music.
But I was employed by a corporation to create sales of medical products, market those products, and train people throughout the world.
Just about the time I was making inroads into the music business, Andreas Gruentzig invented a procedure called Angioplasty and I was given the responsibility to train physicians and their staffs in the technique.
While an exciting period in my life, it became imperative to place my total focus on the training, marketing, and sales of this new technology; and place my music interests on yet another back burner.
Now I'm older and have the time to pursue my passion for entertaining, with the time now to do it the right way.
And so I shall.
Stay tuned because I intend to become an overnight entertainment success, and it only took me 60 years to get to this point in time, from the first time I picked up a guitar that actually could be played.
My "Unplugged" Music
There's nothing more transparent than a singer and/or musician, making music without back up musicians, amplifiers, editing and mixing technicians. Not quiet reaching the note intended, a missing chord, a finger scrapping the string of an instrument or deadening the sound of the next string over, a drummer missing a rythym, or instrument just slightly out of tune.
Unplugged music is raw and naked and totally exposed to criticism. There is no where to hide and you know it immediately when you've just blown a perfectly good song. It's the last step, at least for me, before going to a recording studio.
It's fun having a band supporting your effort, especially when an audience is involved. These songs are being done "Unplugged"! For better or worse, it's a love affair I've most of my life; just me and my guitar.
