I am an acoustic guitar player currently going through a plethora of blooming music writing/creating. I am a child of the 70's. Meaning most of my influences involve a lot of progressive, melodic and alternative music from that period. Though I am predominately Italian/American somehow some Spanish and old Mediterranean influences have surreptitiously snuck into my style. Most music, in the deep creative process is perhaps racial memory motivated. Being a musician, its important to be part of a musical community. Welcome, fellow musicians!
