In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I saw the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band sometime around 1975 in Allentown, Pennsylvania ( I think that was the location). Was a present from my sister! That was a big big deal. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Good Night to Fall in Love” I wanted to write a song a little similar to Heart of Gold, where I could play harmonica with my harp holder... it became something totally different but Niel's song was a good point of departure. I like the movement from place to place in the story What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? In 2017 I played two of my own songs on the Midnight Jamboree in Nashville, TN. Band leader was Charlie McCoy and on steel was the legend himself Llyod Green. Shows in Poland, Halifax, Switzerland, Austria and my second home Germany...good memories! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? After two performances in the Philippines, in 2025 I finished translating and recording Balay Ni Lolo...Grandpa's House. This is an original of mine redone in the Cebuano language. I hope to make this song popular in the Philippines.
