Essay on My Career Choice: Artist or Musician;
Composition on my Career Choice
As a young boy I always knew I'd be either an artist or musician. I
had a real fascination with Disney and saw possibilities in
animation so I was constantly scribbling cartoon characters. Music
came to me through voice. I loved to sing and somehow learn to hear
harmonies by listing to my mother and grandmother sing. At 13 I
received a guitar for Christmas. I spent the next few years teaching
myself how to play and sing. By the time I was in High School a
group of us had formed a band. We lasted for a couple of years and
managed to win a battle of the bands contest where the first prize
was 100 bucks and a chance to open for Buffalo Springfield. But as
luck would have it the bass player and lead guitarist were brothers
and their father was transferred out of town and the band fell
apart. I went into the military after high school and played a lot
of music on board ship. I sat in for the Blue Kangaroo one night at
the Schooner in Honolulu and after being transferred to
Headquarters, managed to get a night job singing Hawaiian songs in a
duo on a tour boat. It was 1970 and with white shoes, white
bell-bottoms, life was great. I Met my wife in Hawaii and in 1972
got married. Not much music and not much art.
By 1975 I was unmarried and started my commercial art business. I
didn't play much music for a few years and one night at a party
someone handed me a guitar and said play something, and I couldn't
bring myself to do it. That night I realized I had lost something.
Something I felt I had to get back. So I started playing for myself
and started doing more writing. Then in a little town that was an
opening to start a monthly art event. I was going to be the featured
artist at this gallery but the owner wanted some music and didn't
know any musicians and funds were limited. The event was about 3
weeks away and I though if I worked at it I could come up with about
20 songs and work from a music stand. So I sheepishly volunteered
and I've been back on the music train ever since.
I now play occasionally at local art functions but mostly enjoy
working in my home studio creating my own music. The style of my
music has to be influenced by the 60's and 70's but I'm not sure I
could pin-point what aspect or even who I'm influenced by. As with
my art it comes to me and I do it. The end product comes out the way
it comes out. Today’s technology and the internet really adds an
element of fun to creating music because you can throw it out there
and see what happens. There's always that chance it will land on
someone who just might like it.
