About Me

I joined Myspace so that I could share my poetry, and read and appreciate other peoples' writings as well. Poets/songwriters that I admire include Jim Morrison, Marc Bolan, Eric Bogle and Robert Smith. I am a proud husband, father and grandfather. I have 2 cattle dogs. Tigers, wolves and bats are my favourite animals. My other interests include music, tattoos, military equipment, (particulary aircraft) and history. One of my other pastimes is researching the military history of my family. Music is an important part of my life. I play bass.....badly and I enjoy playing on my own or jamming with friends. Musicians that I admire include: BASSPLAYERS- Gene Simmons, Simon Gallup, Lemmy, "Geezer" Butler and Pete Hook. GUITARISTS- Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman, Jimi Hendrix and John Christ. DRUMMERS- Dave Lombardo, Eric Carr. VOX- Phil Anselmo, Gene Simmons, Glenn Danzig, Klaus Meine, Jim Morrison and Rob Halford. Over the years, I have seen many of my favourite bands live in concert, with my favourite shows being Kiss, Metallica, Megadeth, The Misfits, The Cure and Danzig.
