Derek Bailey

I started playing music when I was 11. I am a musical heretic. I break rules and think I get away with it. I am not as good as I should be. Nobody feels like they are, but I am good enough to feel comfortable playing for people and have a good time doing it. ****** Well, since I'm pretty much as solo as anyone could get right now, my "band bio" is gonna be just about like my "about me" on my regular myspace page......About 99% of the world calls me Bailey (my last name), feel free to join in. I hate talking about myself. I'd much rather learn about other people. There's almost nothing wouldn't try at least once. ;-) I like almost anything or anyone as long as it's something that's fun or they're someone that's chill. I'm not sure what else to say other than I have probably only met three or four people in my life that I couldn't get along with, so if that makes me laid back, or whatever, then cool. I love talking about ideas and theories and sh*t like that. I like getting caught in big storms. I like adrenaline, but only if I am not afraid I really might die. I like kissing, a lot. I like gummy candy and soft frozen lemonades from minute maid. mmmm. and steak. But I like kissing better. This summer I am going to go to Wyoming and climb a three of the Tetons in the same day - and love every second. I try to live for no regrets, but have found that it can be pretty hard. 95% of the time I give nothing less than 100%. ;-) I have: slept in a snow cave, built a cannon, Driven through 6 western states in one day, run a half marathon, killed a rattlesnake with my pocketknife, skinny dipped in a lake in Argentina, been electrocuted, exhausted myself for fun, thrown a tv off of a cliff, thrown myself off of a cliff, been to over thirty states, whittled a chain link from a piece of wood, explored abandoned uranium mines, thrown a dollar into hot lava, broken into someone's house and car just to see if I could, taken a chance and been wrong, and right, finished someone's sentance, broken someone's heart, cried over a girl, cried with a friend, and flown to Jamaica on a whim. I've met Tony Hawk, Weird Al, Michael Bolton, Carl Lewis, that guy from The Sopranos, and DMC from Run DMC (if anybody even knows who the hell that is anymore). I think I have ADD, but that's ok, because I think the rest of the world does too. There are only just a few of us who are brave enough to let it out. Talk to me if we have something in common, or if we don't. People are awesome. But only when they don't suck. That is all.www.myspace.com/bay_lee
