My Influences: Austin Bass Community
http://ryan-gould.blogspot.com/2009/10/austin-bass-community.html
Tuesday, October 6, 2009. Great Musicianers, Awesome Humans. Ten years ago, I moved to Austin with just a few things on my mind: Is it possible pay the bills as a professional musicianer? Things looked pretty optimistic. Welcomed me to town rather soon after I got here. It took about a year before I met with. Http:/ ryan-gould.blogspot.com/2008/11/nov-17-2008-kevin-smith.html. In each case, these guys were very kind to me. Each of them encouraged me to keep playing and listening. The one characteristic t...

My Influences: March 1, 2009 - Pam
http://ryan-gould.blogspot.com/2009/03/march-1-2009-pam.html
Sunday, March 1, 2009. March 1, 2009 - Pam. Yoga instruction, guidance. During a discussion about staying in shape while touring, my old pal, Beau. Argued that one can't always use a gym or swim laps, and running, while a sure thing just about anywhere, is sometimes not the safest bet. However, there is always enough space in a hotel room for a yoga practice. I'm quite glad for that call and even happier to have found such a great guide through the world of yoga! I have; that's for sure! At the end of th...

My Influences: Dec. 15, 2008 - Roy Rogers
http://ryan-gould.blogspot.com/2008/12/dec-15-2008-roy-rogers.html
Monday, December 15, 2008. Dec 15, 2008 - Roy Rogers. Piper, carpenter, mentor . I spent the years after my enlistment with the USMC and before I moved to Austin, Texas studying a terribly strange instrument: the uilleann pipes. I can't say what exactly moved me to commit so much of those years to such an odd calling. It did happen, though. And spent a week trying to figure out how make noise with it. (Sorry, Dad and Teresa! Lessons with Roy continued as routinely as either of schedules and my progress p...

My Influences: June 2011
http://ryan-gould.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 11, 2011. June 11, 2011 - Hal Smith. Drums, history, and pure awesome. I have a friend,. His name is Hal. He's one serious hell of a pal. As a musicianer, I feel it's important to quickly find some connection, a common language, that can be used to deliver music and its spirit to others. Ensemble! Sometimes it takes a little while to get to know another musicianer; shyness, external situations, etc. might slow the process. Sometimes it never happens. Hal is a true ensemble player! Your ins...

My Influences: Aug. 18, 2007 - Alex
http://ryan-gould.blogspot.com/2008/06/aug-18-2007-alex.html
Friday, June 27, 2008. Aug 18, 2007 - Alex. Influence and inspiration can come in all shapes and sizes. I'm not sure how or when that occurred to me but I'm glad it did. Nearly eight years ago, I met someone who has become a great inspiration and a great influence on my life in all its aspects. In fact, I think of him as a hero. I now watch him growing constructively under the love and guidance of some very, very wonderful people. He is blossoming into quite a spirited, good-hearted human being! Treat th...

My Influences: Daren - March 16, 2009
http://ryan-gould.blogspot.com/2009/03/daren-march-16-2009.html
Monday, March 16, 2009. Daren - March 16, 2009. Music lover, Community Activist and Benefactor. Austin, Texas is a great many things to me and to many folks living here. I was enticed to move here by its residents with descriptions of many different musical genres and talented musicianers. None of these residents, however, had ever explained to me the many other treasures that an interested party could discover as part of this community. Obviously, this man was out to hear some music that evening! His ki...
