About Me

PORTRAIT OF THE YOUNG MAN AS AN ARTIST raised on the radio, the second thing i remember seeing is a record spinning around (the first was a rocket launch on tv). i grew up with the Beatles, so everything else came after that. after seeing ringo on sullivan, i know what i wanted to do...After over 20 years in a van, drumming-under-the-radar with all kindsa artists and bands, coming from behind the kit as a solo artist, i think i can do it all. it may be possible. The now out-of-print ep "more later" (StaticOnVinyl), most of the music posted above, was intended to be a sample of the layered, quadraphenic pop to come. dividing my time between my bedraggled hometown of new orleans and a small cottage on cape cod, when not on the road, i have been slowly working on a 'follow-up'. late in 'o6, i injured my hand pretty badly, and it set me back a bit, but i am back in the studio, and shall be playing out again real soonlike.
