What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music It comes, it inhabits Worlds rearrange Arteries dilate And constrict with a vengeance We feel it surge, ever narrowing Ever widening, undulating It telegraphs the brain and soul Beckoning the gut to respond Giving life to dead limbs Providing an emotional microscope To gander at precious notes To absorb another's thoughts And realize that This amazing conduit Is truly universal

What is your music dream?

To have one of my musicals produced on Broadway

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

The children, of course.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

The first time I heard From Me To You, November 1963....I was 14.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Beatles, Billy Joel, Sinatra, Ella, Stones, B B King, Clapton....and several hundred others!

What inspires you to make music?

Everything. A writer finds inspiration in many different ways.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

A varied one since all humans are different. I want my songs to be either thought provoking, or pure fun.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Excited, Happy, Alive, Content.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

The reality has changed drastically since I started in the mid 60s. I would love to see small venue, or bars packed with people listening to local bands like the old days.

What do you think of Drooble?

I like it. Not sure how to fully exploit my music here, however.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Lack of gigs nowadays......hard to sell music as well.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

I check out local bars and small clubs here in Brooklyn. I also sit in a lot with musicians I know.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

Good question. I do not, however, have a good answer. Music is changing so rapidly these days.

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

Just Us.....My band Emmit Rhodes
