Aging songwriter, singer, performer. Though I do shows locally (never solo, though), I prefer multitrack recording, which I have done in my budget studio for decades. Most skilled on keyboards and rhythm guitars (prefer acoustic guitars).
Piano and any keyboard related instrument. Rhythm guitar (not good at leads)—generally acoustic; electric bass guitar, a smidgeon of drums. I also sing.
On a budget!!!! I record on a physical Tascam 24 track digital deck and mix in Audacity on my Mac.
iMac.
Mostly classic bands from late 60s, the 70s, and early 80s—generally those listed as influences.
The White Album.
Beatles together and individually, Michael Nesmith, Elvis Costello, Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Todd Rundgren, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Stelly Dan, Eagles, David Byrne, David Bowie, Thomas Dolby and maybe a fifth of Beethoven.
