I sign myself as a Steel Guitar/MIDI/Tunesmythe in my correspondence. I am primarily a steel guitarist, but am also a songwriter/composer. I have a project studio dedicated to my songwriting/composing - Moose Muse Music International. I publish my music under DeViAntunes (BMI).
I have long held that steel guitar is not just for Country or
Hawaiian music. I grew up on the Beatles, the British Invasion,
Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Clapton, Page and Little Feat; Punk, New Wave,
Elvis Costello, Squeeze. I have played in a variety of musical
settings and have strived to play something other than the same
old "twang."
One result of this Rock fascination is:
