About The Big Daddy

As it would seem clear, I am a band of one.  But I would love to be a part of any band.  I have been playing guitar for a very, very long time--and boy are my fingers sore!  Sorry, I couldn't resist.  Seriously, I've been playing since I was 13.  I guess I've been writing songs just about as long or longer.  I play the guitar, banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, and just about anything else I can get my hands on if people aren't looking and even if they are.  I have quite an eclectic style.  I guess you could call what I play contemporary alternative pop-folk-jazz rock.  I'd add acoustic, but I have nothing against electric either.  Some of my best friends are electric guitars.  I could try to impress you all with shows for which I've played guitar and places I've played, but in the end, all that is bullshit.  Either you will like what you hear or you won't, and that is all that really matters.  I hope you like listening to my music.   I particulary look forward to exploring new musical experiences and expanding my musical horizons.  You can hear some more of my music at www.wilsongs.net


The Big Daddy 's Influences
My musical influences are as varied as my tastes.  I guess the biggest influences on my style of playing are Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger.  I owe my songwriting abilities to John Lennon and Woody Guthrie.  But a part of me also owes something to Gilbert & Sullivan.  I also dearly love Richard Farina, and James Taylor and Jim Croce and The Beatles.  I believe in making music a mirror of everything we, as the human animal, do.  I am more or less, a musical stew, or perhaps a stone soup would be a better analogy.  It is what is added later, that makes the flavor.

Ok, I've been listening to your gut plucking for something like 25 years now, and I have to say that I love where you are at now. Your playing and arrangments are so clean and tight that it lets what you have to say come through clearly and brilliant. Bravo dear friend, Bravo.

yeah, so like I was saying, next time you're up in the northwest, we're gonna jam.

I really like your music - I've always been envious of people who can handle a guitar (I've wanted to learn, but my hands love drums and pianos, and they're more stubborn than I am), but you really have a fluid, effortless sound to your playing.

Very, very good stuff....

It's cool to hear a song that you know some about.......

:)

the inside scoop that you usually have to do yourself...

But when you're up close and personal with the man behind the lyrics....it makes it WAY cool to hear their talents and know what they are talking about.
