More About Brian_Parsons

My songs are a walking contradiction...songs that make you laugh and songs that make you cry...I'm not kidding, during my performance of "Without Love" has on some occasions brought people to tears (no jokes please). The melodies are accessible ad very tasty. The lyrics are clever and well crafted. The guitar work is adequate...so let's hope the melodies and lyrics make up for that!!! As for influences...Bob Dylan, John Prine, Steve Goodman and Jesse Winchester. My goal is simply to reach out and see what happens. Maybe I can spread some of these songs around. I am beginning to record and the songs will be available on the internet. So...hope to see you, as I will be coming to a desktop or laptop
near you sometime soon...
Brian Parsons!

Fun Stuff about the Artist

Embarrassing Moment

I borrowed the sound man's guitar and after tuning with the on board tuner started performing my first song. There wasn't any guitar coming through the system due to the fact that I had not turned off the tuner. I was oblivious to the lack of guitar sound but the sound man jumped in and corrected the situation right away!

My Instrument

My first guitar was a Yamaha... which I eventually started to refinish but never finished (the refinishing!) I stained the wood but never sealed it... I did how ever take a blow torch to the front of the guitar and while I did not do a complete Jimi Hendrix to it... I and others think it looks cool and it it sounds better than it did before my unorthodox procedure. It's been 12 years since the operation and... my guitar from ?...has suffered no ill effects!...just lucky I guess!!!
