On With The Show

About Me

Hey all! Well, this is my page. It's all about me and what I like and none of what I don't! I'm a guitarist who's been playing since I was 13 years old. So, I've been playing for 10 years now. Okay, that's a lie! I've been playing for (gasp!) 23 years. I'm all about the rock n' roll. I like all kinds of music and eras of music, but my favorite is the 80's. Most of it, but hard rock and metal especially. I can't tolerate rap, nor rap-rock. Hip hop's a no go, too. I've been in several bands over the years, most notably City Trikx, Stikky Suite and Hayr. (Ask me about the soon to be recorded Hayr disc!)I've had the pleasure of sharing the bill with bands such as Dangerous Toys, Lillian Axe, Enuff Z' Nuff, Holland, Joker, Tuff, Peter Criss (Kiss), Joey Belladonna (Anthrax), James Young (Styx), and Rare Earth. I've played to audiences ranging from 10 people to 500+ people, and loved every minute of it! I'm happily married to my wife Jessann. We have been married 5 years! We love our music, computers and going to the beach and the pool.

Heroes:

Anyone who has managed to make what they love to do, and what they do for a living the same thing. That's the key to a happy life in my opinion. Also, our military! Particularly (but not exclusively) WWII veterans, whose sacrifices saved the world. And my mom...for her strength and love especially after dad died. It could not have been easy to be left with 3 little kids after losing your spouse, but she didn't often let it show. Love you Mom!

My Blog

Lesson learned

I lost a friend today, and am feeling pretty low. I can't go into details, so as to keep everybody's privacy, but essentially concern for a friend and his kids has turned around to bite us in the ass....

For anyone still interested

Still no progress on the damn disc. I'm beyond pissed, but what can I do? Nothing. They just need to finish it, and they haven't yet. So, I big-time regret saying anything until it was a done deal. I ...

Korean War

I'm reading a book about the Korean War, told by some people who were there, in their own words. First of all, let me assure you it was a WAR. Forget that nonsense about it being a "police action...
