Details:
I would call this stuff I write and play old time contemporary folk/blues: "Old time" because my aim is to play live acoustic music without a lot of fanfare. "Contemporary folk" because the themes regard everyday people and what they face day to day. "Blues" because I value emotion and ad lib style in what I write and play. My main focus is usually on the lyrics, which lend themselves to small groups interested in listening to them.
My two greatest musical influences have to be Russell Rigden and my father. Russ Rigden was a late night, live radio, trumpet player in St. Louis and also my elementary school band instructor. I learned from him that I could be a decent musician if I worked at it, and that there is a joy in performing that is second to none. My father steered me away from music when I told him I wanted to be a music teacher and performer upon graduating from high school, convincing me that the social and financial limitations I would experience would not be worth it. He may have been right, but forty years later, here I am making music and that''s a big deal to me.
For the near future, I will continue to teach guitar, write new songs, and promote my stuff. I have a collection of Christmas songs, "Christmas in Pueblo II", that is available if you email me (edwardphill@https://www.tradebit.com). I have just completed a collection of love songs, "Colorado Weather", that will soon be available at this site.
