About Me

I started off as a drummer @ the age of 16, in '76. By '81 I switched to guitar, and along the way I picked up some bass and keyboard skills. I always sang. From '83 thru '95 I barely played anything, as I was a fulltime comic book artist, working for the likes of DC, Dark Horse, and numerous other companies. Disenchanted with the comics biz, I got back into music, and have since played in a number of bands, at different instruments, usually bass, until 2002, when I began recording my first solo album. I finished this in 2004, and titled it From the Edge. I hope you'll like it enough to want one of your very own. I'm selling these at $10 a pop, and this includes shipping. E-mail me with your details, I'm taking checks, and I'll send you a CD. The cover art and credits were done by my old friend Lance Borde, and I'm proud of what he did. My father took the pics, and one of those is the one you see on this site here. The album was recorded by me on a Korg D1600 16 track digital recorder. I did the mixdown myself, then had it mastered bya real professional, one Peter Darmi. Peter's credits include BB King, Bob Dylan, and many others. Hope you like what you hear. Let me know. I have a second site, under the name of WetlogiK. I hope you'll take a moment to check that out too...

Oh so quiet

   I know I've been very quiet of late... like the past 2 years!  Well, let me start by saying I had a huge equipment meltdown, and I'm having trouble replacing things. I'm hardly rich these days, so,...

Listening

My son, Josh was playing music in his room today, and it was a mixture of electronic, metal, soul, and then, George Harrison. Now, this is not to disparage my more electronic colleages, or my metal fr...
