| In addition to Rock and New Age, I have some study and efforts towards Western Music with some Bluegrass influence. I listened to my godfathers (Ogden Scoville, Mensa) vast collection of Cowboy Music. Age 11 and 12 was at a private school where I got lots of guitar lessons, and we listed to a large and excellent collection of Bluegrass (including Doc Watson and Alan Lomax recording collections, and lots of early Dylan, the teachers knew Joan Baez). I got guitars lessons from Jack Knox and Michael Mathay. I have jammed with EmmyLou Harris and her band including Ricky Skaggs, who is one of the 2 best guitarists I have jammed with (Eddie Van Halen is the other), thanks to EmmyLou's good friend Monique Timberlake (friend of mine who plays Pedal Steel and introducted me to Gene Clark, and Don Henley, all thanks to Chris Hillman sending me to Monique). My grandfather Ted used to drink beer with Willie Nelson. Willie gave me some lessons, and he said he was going to grow his hair long like me, and did. My grandfather knew Johnny Carson, and all sorts of people down at Desilu/Paramount Studios (1920's-1964) where he worked, but sidelined in music production (with my grandmother Mimi, actually, they had different dealings, Mimi had dealings (real estate, music production, voice lessons) with James Taylor, Rita Coolidge, EmmyLou Harris, John Denver and Janis Joplin, but they did not discuss it with me, but I did meet John Denver and was a fan of his, including when he was with the Chad Mitchel Trio, so John Denver and I played some music, pleasant fellow), so I met Willie Nelson as a kid in Hollywood, and he stopped by from time to time, and I jammed with him years later (in a small club at his birthday party). I greatly enjoy playing this style of music, however, I also play blues and rock; and some people who are into C&W Music, don't like blues and rock, and I pick up accents, and for some unkown reason, when I am around some southerners, I apparantly start talking like an Afro American, without meaning to do so, and this upsets them so, or maybe while playing music, a stray tradtional blues riff might come out (my grandfather dealt with Soul Bands too). So, while at first, everyone just loves me, eventually, this sort of thing slips out, and they say "That's It, get him out of here". Like wise, some Afro Americans have been shocked and some of my C&W riffs. With my music, I just put it all together, its mostly improvisations, then I fine tune it; so what ever I feel, just happens, like Debussy, or Jack Sheldon who used to play on my roof on Hollywood Blvd when I was a kid, and I got to hang out and hear Herbie Mann as a kid, so I have lots of various influences, and it all comes out. |
