For some odd reason people always want to know things about those who create music, or the story behind the compositions, so here are some thing some of you have asked about and other completely useless trivia you may find amusing or interesting. I'll add to this over time.
Where are you from?
I come from small, dark, world known as Cleveland (no condolences needed I escaped from there to sunnier lands). My ancient ancestors were Irish, Welsh, Scottish, English and Italian, which basically means they spent the better part of the past few millennium trying to kill and conquer each other. At some point in time those ancient ancestors stopped fighting and started, well, you know, otherwise, I would not be here. In the event you are wondering how one can have 5 lines of heritage yet only 4 grandparents, when have you ever known the Irish not to want a fifth?
What guitars and amps do you use?
Gibson and Ibanez guitars, Ibanez and Tobias basses, Soldano, Peavy and ENGL Amps
Does Losfer Words play live?
No, I'd have to grow and extra set of arms and hire a whole lot of extra musicians to duplicate live what we do in the studio.
What is under your bed?
Hardwood floors, the edge of the carpet, dust, MONSTERS!
Is it true you play guitar by ear?
Actually, I use my fingers or a guitar pick.
Do you play all the instruments on all of the CDs?
About 99.9%, yet I also get by with a little help from my friends as needed:
