After the Flood
|
I play guitar in a folk/singer-songwriter style. When I was a kid I grew up with this sort of stuff, and after wandering through jazz, art rock, and blues infatuations as a listener, I eventually returned to it (though I still enjoy the others, of course).
As a kid I had recorder lessons, and I sang in school things as a choir leader. But it never really felt like a passion until I hit high school and started listening to music in earnest. I was always attracted to good lyrics, and singer-songwriter stuff is one of the few places to find them. Once I got to college, I took up the acoustic guitar and taught myself how to play.
I also got into the folk scene, made friends there, attended Kerrville Folk Festivals, and wrote my own material.
My greatest regret about my job is that it doesn't leave me enough time for my music. But I do regularly post new stuff up on the blog in the Music category.
