One of my highlights a few years ago was when I busked at a local train station just beside an suditorium where Bob Dylan was playing here in Edonton. I don't know who his opening act was that night, but there was a huge crowd. I played the incoming and outgoing crowds. On th ewya out after the concert, two sweet little old ladies sdtopped to tip me. They told me, "As far as we're concerned, Bob Dylan had TWO opening acts tonight!" I will never forget that.
Afew months ago, just before receiving my new CDs, I went to an open state at the Carrot Cafe, a neat local venue for Edmonton performers. I announced I was going to do two of the songs from my upcoming CD. The first one went off like clockwork. On the second one, I forgot just about one entire verse. I had written both songs! The audience was quite kind about it, and we all had a big laugh over it. But it was embassassing to forget one of my own songs!
My first guitar was either an old acoustic Kay guitar I got for Christmas at the age of 3, or a small ukelele that Mom Dad taught me to play. I can't remember which ne I got first. I do remember that at that age, my fingers were too small to fit around the neck of the guitar. So we stuck a nt on it to raise the strings, and played it like a Dobro for years. Then I started playing guitar the regular way at 13, and never looked back.
Following the advent of MIDI, One of my favorite guitars was my Casio PG380 guitar synthesizer, which I still have. I love the accuracy of the harmonics on it, plus all the other instrumental sounds I can get on it.
I also love various Roland and Yamaha keyboards and sound modules. The equipment helps me get the sound of a full band. To play all those extra sounds live along with my guitar, I'd have to be an octopus!
