About Me

{YES! I will regularly upload new mp3 files to MySpace; check back often!}

I'm slightly over-qualified as a composer / arranger - and
orchestrator - and also on stunt guitar, bass, uhh, hubcaps,
whatever, as well as live sound-board (and "deep-dub FX")!
I have studied with Jerry Coker (for the Jazz, at UNC-CH),
Dr. Bill Russo (of DownBeat, for the "third-stream", in Chicago),
and Dr. Randy Snyder (of the Schoenberg school, via Elliot Carter,
for the 20th Century Avant-Garde, at UN-L in Nebraska)...
I also learned a bit at Griff Luneberg's "School of Folk Music"
(...locally known as UT's folk palace: The Cactus Cafe!)

================================= YES! I am in Austin, TX, 78704, by the way... I've done sound for many of the fine musicians
who work and play here, for over 20 years now,
as the house "soundguy" at dozens of local clubs...
most notably:
Mercado Caribe 1990 - 1991
Chicago House 1991 - 1992
Cavity Club 1992
White Rabbit 1995 - 1996
Mercury 1997 - 1998
Ruta Maya [downtown] 1999
Cactus Cafe 2000 - 2003
Ruta Maya World HQ 2004 - 2006
================================
My very "abridged" performance history:
* Book of [Holy] Lies - Chicago '80-'81:
* a/k/a - Lincoln, NE '78 - '80
* SurrealEstate - Lincoln, NE '77 - '78
~ Lead Bass / Lead Guitar / Gasmask
* Consenting Adults - Austin '86 - '89
~ Guitars / Keys / Programming
* DumDum and the Smarties - Austin '99 - '??
~ Stunt Guitar / Vocal Outbursts
* Carolyn Wonderland Band - Austin 2006
~ "Sound Artist" / Damage Control

...(currently on extended unpaid sabbatical)
And last but not least:
~ "Utility player" [gtr, bs, keys, toys, laughter]
...with the legendary Austin TX improv rock band
* PeaceMongers [1990 - 2012]...

highly overqualified "sound artist"
