Interview with Lap Steel Guitarist and Multi-Instrumentalist @MichaelBarryRec

b'Born and raised in a small rural town in\\xa0\\xa0southeastern Connecticut Michael picked up the guitar at an early age. He played in various "below the radar" bands and in his early twenties embarked on a life changing cross-country soul search which eventually landed him back on the east coast in Rockbridge County Virginia. It was here that he began to experiment with loop technology and also fulfilled a long held desire to play the lap steel. It was also here, ironically, that he was irresistibly drawn to the art of stone masonry. He was fascinated to observe that by pushing the boundaries of his creative potential in a primarily physical direction with the stonework a hidden pendulum would often swing and draw out melodious gems from\\xa0\\xa0somewhere deep in his psyche.\\n\\nhttp://www.TheSashaMarinaShow.com'
