How long have you been playing?
Started at 16, in 1977. Have always loved singing....blame Julie Andrews. Sound of Music and Mary Poppins soundtracks are tattooed in my brain/memory.
What was the first concert you ever went to?
Probably Diana Ross. 1977? She had BIG hair and long set of hits.
What gear do you use?
It's a Guild.
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
Bubblegum pop and Sound of Music?Julie Andrews. Cast album of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Osmonds. Marie... so that's how I became COOL?!?! Not--- Amy Grant won me over in late 80's.....more BIG HAIR but great and inspiring songs. Still my favorite.
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
I was a member of the Voices of Mercy from St. Luke's Mission.
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
Amy Grant, original members of Partridge Family... Would love to teach that Tracy how to swing a tambourine!
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
Biggest was probably in Ars, France a few years ago. About 1,800 priests and bishops at an International retreat. Smallest...any time I advertise a gig by myself... about 10 to 25. Humility, humility, humility.....
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
Oh, my. Amy Grant's greatest hits Vol. 2?
You never know when you'll meet another musician!

Sunday Morning Fever - Fr. Bill Quinlivan
So...some people are offended by a Catholic priest with joy and humor. So-- I forgive you. Lighten up. Others love it. You humble me. It's not my doing. I was born this....I mean, my parents gave me this sense of humor!
