Inspiration...

..the mystical and magical phenomenon generating an unmistakeable and never ending flow of creative energy. What inspires me? Who inspires me?

The mere existence of people and places is enough to light the spark of creation. In the end it all comes down to love. Finding love, losing it, the love for a new born life, the loss of a loved one.. The energy of love ties all things and thoughts together and inspires to create the new.

Learn to Love - Live to Love - Love to Live

My ultimate goal is to move someone with my music, preferably in a positive manner. To me, there's no bigger compliment than someone telling me that listening to my music made them feel good, or at least a little bit better.

Throughout my musical career I have come to love many musicians and styles. I learned from all of them in what I call "the Miles Davis Way": learn everything, forget you learned it, and it will all come back to you when you need it. Effectively I sucked up everything I could lay my hands or ears on, integrated it into my playing, making it part of me, not just my vocabulary. After more than twenty years of playing the guitar I still learn to love new things, and they sneak into my playing alltogether.
