About Me

I'm a percussionist, drummer, vocalist, harmonica player.I really like origami and most types of paper art. I play pennywhistle and bodhran (celtic frame drum).Like everyone else, there's some psychic baggage. I have some great friends. I'm in the band Young Rebel Goombas. I just picked up a clarinet and I think that I want to learn the tuba, although I originally wanted to learn the baritone horn, since I don't want any more back problems.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Zakir Hussein, Ravi Shankar, Ringo Starr, Michael LaFosse,Robert Lang, Dali Lama,Lee Oskar, Toots Theilmanns, Sheila E, Giovanni Hidalgo,Brendan Power,Louie Bellson, Todd Rundgren
