Also note that with Firefox there are times, though not always, that it can take up to 1-2 min. for this page to fully load and
all scrolling items to begin scrolling because of the Myspace ads loading at the top; it's then quicker in Internet Explorer.

"It is not a disgrace to fail. Failing is one of the greatest arts in the world...
One fails forward toward success."
~ Charles F. Kettering (1876-1958)

I had initially created this page just to interact with my sister and her two kids, aka, my nephews.

Hi Marc & Zach!
Hi Trena! I love you, sis!

I also have a beautiful little niece, Taylor, who's too young for a myspace profile, but not forgotten.

I've already done much more with this page than I had ever intended, as this site can get very addictive.

And as it turns out, this page is very much who I am. Music is a very big part of my life, and this page reflects that as a result.

(continued... see the 'More' link below)
More

You will find that I can be a great friend who will have
your back in a heartbeat. I love people... all kinds, all
types. If you gain my trust, which I initially hand out
freely, you can really do no wrong with me... except to
break that trust.

I am loyal to anyone who's loyal to me.

And am always more than willing, and happy to support
my friends, family, and those I love in whatever they do.

I feel sometimes that's the greatest gift one can give...
support... without judgment. Often, that's all someone
really wants, is a little support, love, and understanding.

Feel free to explore my page. I like to use rollovers, so you'll see rollover effects hidden throughout my page from top to bottom.

"If I were not a physicist, I would probably be
a musician. I often think in music. I live my
daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of
music... I get most joy in life out of music."
~ Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

"After a certain high level of technical skill is
achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in
esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest
scientists are always artists as well."
~ Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

"Music is enough for a lifetime — but a lifetime
is not enough for music.”
~ Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943)
