About Me

I've been dabbling with sounds (often called 'music) for nigh on 35 years and am still no closer to figure out what to do with it. I know what I can do with it, I can do more of it. I can do it forever and I still won't know why. But thats ok, as long as I smile I shall stay with it for a while longer,

My Influences / Fav Artists

I have experience in many styles, some fast (Punk/ death speed metal), some slow (Gospel), I've done mellow (Blues)and even popular (covers.) I've played in duets (acoustic), spoken word (horrible and embarrassing) and a plethora of collaborations long gone and forgotten forever.
I dug a hole and buried my rock career in a paupers grave. It woke up, came around and threw me out of bed with indignation. I have an inkling that I have some business to attend to but in the meantime I'm going to try (again). I'm going to try something different. I'll always try something different and it's probably THE major reason why I could never commit to playing one or even two to three different genres, because I want to have more.
