*  I'm not the guy who gets all serious doing songs about my girlfriend, my feelings, a butterfly or whatever.  I think i just lack the sensitivity for it.
>  I do play some slower and prettier material, but i limit this to no more than 3 songs or less per set.  This gives the sets some contrast without becoming boring for people (and for me!).

*  I don't do medleys (Beatles or otherwise) and i definitely stay away from the typical acoustic guitar standards like Blackbird, Margaritaville, Dead or Alive, Alison, etc.  In fact i don't limit myself to so-called "acoustic songs" at all.
>  I go out of my way to chose a variety of songs that will appeal to the diverse tastes of the audience.  I'm not there to make the 1 or 2 Beatles fanatics in the crowd happy; my goal is to try and give as many people as possible something that they really enjoy hearing, and a dynamic set is the best way to do this.

*  I don't drink while working, i don't curse at family-oriented events, i don't take myself too seriously, i don't (often) tell bad jokes; and i've never had a jealous girlfriend show up and get all rowdy at one of my acoustic shows [knock on wood].  I keep my political and religious views to myself while performing, because who needs to hear that when they're out trying to have a good time?!

*  I don't use drum machines, looper pedals or pre-recorded background music.  I'm just a guy who sits there banging it out on an acoustic guitar with a yellow pick and a brass slide.

* Oakland, Macomb, Lapeer, St. Clair and Wayne counties
* Available noon, evening and night
* Pro equipment including PA (about 30 min to set up; 20 to tear down & clear out)
* I'm as loud or quiet as the gig requires or that the owner/manager prefers
* Can do as little as 2 45-minute sets (Happy Hour!) or as much as 3 60-minute sets
