  • Conrad, How many hours a day do you play music?

  • On non-school days Conrad averages about 10 hours a day on piano or guitar. School days playing depends on homework. He'd like to play more but we insist that he eats and sleeps occasionally!

  • have you ever played with Tommy Emmanuel?

  • Conrad hasn't played with Tommy, but we were lucky enough to go to one of his concerts recently!

  • had my ear on you for awhile now, tell me about that guitar you're playing pls & ty.

  • Conrad's guitar is a Martin D35 that he bought a couple of years ago. It's one of his favorite acoustic guitars. He saved up his money for one because Rory Gallagher had a D35 also!
