About Me

In the words of the funniest man alive, Lil' Jimmy Norton......."A band bio = self promoting bullshit!" Every entertainer has a bio, they are all generic, cliche, verbose (oops... that's a BIG WORD!!! how about BORING instead), and they all stink. Here's mine:
I don't write about myself in the third person. I did not "burst onto the scene" nor did I "leave a crowd ( of 8 people, wink wink) yearning for more" at some shit-hole in a boonie town pretending like it was the Garden. (I actually have played the Garden.... the OLIVE one. Hospitaliano, Baby!)
I don't post press from no-name writers who are employed by publications no one has ever heard of just in order to stroke my own ego / proclaim my wonderfullness to the world. (ok yes I do.... "CJ sucks and I'm waitng for his second album to flop." --David Fricke, Senior Writer / failed disgruntled musician - Rolling Stone Magazine).
I'm the real deal, I'm a good person at heart (even though I tend to run with the devil a little more often than I'd like to). I tell it like it is and have nothing but respect for those who genuinely give a damn about music and put every last ounce of soul into their work.
I wear my heart on my shoulder, and depending on my mood, it's either a Les Paul, SG, Strat, National, or a Taylor. Music is/ has been/ and will forever be the love of my life second to NONE,(EXCEPT my wife and two baby daughters) and I will have a 6 string in my hands 'til the day I die or I can't physically hold one any longer. Some nights I kill, others I SUCK. I do my thing MY way (Frank Sinatra style) and bust my ass to try to do it the best I can.
