Biography

Welcome to my music page here at the Internet Music Scene. As I continue recording I am just a couple of months from releasing my eleventh CD "Tropical Vacation".

My music is all instrumental rock and I write and perform all music on each track. My music has been said to be a mix of Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons and Tangerine Dream and even Kansas. Weird mix I know but I never know how a song will turn out until I get to working on it.

I hope you enjoy some of the tracks I have posted from my CDs, I have made them all free for you to download. You can email me at studio1@surfnorthwest.com with any comments.

Music and the Internet
The internet with the ability to download music, burn CD's and essentially create your own collection has taken away the profits to the musician who might of otherwise started a band and made CD's for profit. The only people making money anymore are the record labels and big bands on tour. I think sites like this will become the norm in the next 5 years.

Robin Trower - Kansas - Michael Schenker - Pink Flyod - Alan Parsons - David Arkenstone - Tangerine Dream - Jethro Tull
