  42. A: My heart and soul, years of experience and listening and learning from others. I have a love for the variety of musical styles that fill my life and try to find the soul and quality in each one. There is a magic that can be captured given the right amount of openness and inspiration. I strive to find that magic.

  43. Q: What's your typical work process?

  44. A: Getting to work on a new piece, I try to understand the place where it is coming from. What is the message trying to be expressed? What is the emotion, the mood, the spirit that must emerge from this piece. I play with a new song, on guitar, or piano, or accordion, and try and find how it speaks to me. I try and discover what I can do to make a piece come to life.

  45. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  46. A: My DAW is Logic X with the most current updates. I augment this with the use of Melodyne and WAV studio effects. I have great acoustic instruments including ukuleles, banjos, classic and flattop guitars, Les Paul electric guitar, great Gibson Ripper bass, and a classic 80 year old accordion. This is my art, and this is my love.

  47. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  48. A: Both my mom and dad played on live radio, so I grew up with music. As a kid I played in a rock band in high school and then went on to live in Nashville and played in various traveling shows including Roy Clark's band, LeRoy VanDykes band, and the Stamps Quartet. I have a B.M.E from the University of Nebraska and a Masters and Doctorate from Kansas State University. Lot of musical experiences all my life and now my wife and I are doing shows in the Portland Oregon area.

  49. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
