Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
The Beatles, soundtrack to my childhood.
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
Play instrumental duos with guitar and flute. Folk, Brazilian bossa nova, American Songbook, and original songs. Yes, play shows.
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
Antonio Carlos Jobim. Such gorgeous writing.
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
Do non-paying gigs count here? Played a few auditoriums with possibly thousands in attendance. But that was just a song. Paying gigs -- maybe a hundred.
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
Yehudi Menuhin and Stephane Grappelli did a CD where every track makes me happy. I heard about their collaboration, watching a DVD about Grappelli.
