I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a rock n roll loving graduate student at the University of Hawaii. Go Warriors!When I'm not in school, I'm usually playing guitar. I'm not a super-talented-gigging-superstar, but a laid back, stay-at-home strummer. There is nothing like kicking back and killing a couple of hours learning a tune.------------------------------------------------------- ----THE NIGHTWATCHMAN is Rage / Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello's latest project.Morello's folk / acoustic songs cry out in anger for political and social change in this age of the silent artist. Morello is without a doubt the new voice for the angry and oppressed in the great tradition of Guthrie, Seeger, Dylan, Lennon and Strummer. It is truly the best album I've bought this year!Here is the video for THE NIGHTWATCHMAN'S ROAD I MUST TRAVEL.
