The Great Northwest

<p>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".</p><p>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&nbsp;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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Music and the Internet<br />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.</p><p>My influences<br />Robin Trower - Kansas - Michael Schenker - Pink Flyod - Alan Parsons - David Arkenstone - Tangerine Dream - Jethro Tull</p><p>Favorite spot<br />Playa Del Carmen Mexico</p><p>Hobbies<br />ATV riding, my German Shepherds, and any water sports</p><p>Equipment used:<br />- Fender Custom Shop 50th Anniversary Deluxe Strat<br />- Fender Custom Shop Custom Deluxe<br />- Carvin Ultra VC<br />- Gibson Les Paul 2008 Summer Jam<br />- Goding LGX-SA<br />- Gibson ES-359<br />- Carvin IC4WP Bass<br />- Roland Fantom X6 Keyboard<br />- Yamaha MOTIF ES Keyboard<br />- Korg TR88 Keyboard<br />- Yamaha Drums<br />- Metropoulos Amplification '70 Plexi Superlead<br />- DR Z EZG 50<br />- Marshall 2466<br />- Marshall 4x12 cabinet w/G12H30s<br />- Carvin 4x12 cabinet w/Vintage 30s<br />- Marshall 4x12 cabinet w/Alnico Gold<br />- Marshall 4x12 1960BX cabinet w/Greenbacks<br />- Carvin BX 500 Bass Amp<br />- Cakewalk SONAR 8.5</p><p>Anything else...?<br />I am still a sinner but through the blood of Jesus I have been saved and forgivin.</p>
