About Me

Check out this old live video I came across. .. It is me and The DCU (Mike Adams and Rick Obenshain) doing "Your Hair's a Mess" at Wise Fools Pub in Chicago... Shot by Chicago's own Sureshot Productions. Let me know what you think!

My new solo CD "Expatriate Passion Play (& Gift Shop) is complete... It will be in my store in a month or so.

It is funny seeing people on Myspace who are from my area calling Petersburg a "redneck" or "hicktown" and displaying their Confederate flags at the same time. Irony? I sincerely doubt it. Ignorance? Probably. Take it from a Prodigal Son, people are the same everywhere, except maybe in Stendal.

Drummers Suck... oh wait, I need one... uh anyone want to do a few gigs?

God I hate drummers, well not the people, just the concept... they all want to play guitar... and dammit, most play guitar better than I do... and I can't play drums very well... so perhaps I'm jealou...

I've put up another track from my show at the ubiquitious Soda Room... It's called "For a Canadian Border Guard." I'll bet if she hears it... she'll remember!

I thought I knew myself better!

If you were to ask me what I've been listening to I'm pretty sure I'd know what I'd say... but I won't even venture because I know I'm wrong! Thanks to http://www.last.fm/user/brickbriscoe my every m...
