Coco Moon has a special place in the hearts of all of the Double Agents crew,myself included of course how can I forget Heather!O.K.,as some of you may know Ace Lytem is a long time friend(15 years!) Wayne Powell is an old friend from P.E.I. & former bandmate from Street Urchin(going back to '85- 21years!)Darren McQuaid ('86- 20 years) Dan Zbytovsky of Typhus( '91-15 years) Chris Parrish & Paul Watson of Typhus 11 years & how can I forget my friend & bandmate Wrathchild!

My Interests

Music,Relgion,Philosophy.There is a refined side of me that aspires to progress & another side that just takes nothing seriously & has no regard for consequence.

I'd like to meet:

Tony Iommi,Angus & Malcolm Young,Gene Simmons & Ted Nugent .I'd also like to meet Sandra Bullock, Oprah,& Madonna. Harrison Ford would be cool or Adam Sandler. Really, anyone who became a success from scratch & still loves what they do today!

Music:

Metal,Classical,Punk,Blues,Rock'n'Roll- anything with energy, heart & soul. My favorite group is Iron Maiden & my favorite guitarists are Randy Rhoads & Jimi Hendrix.I love technical precision combined with reckless raw emotion.My favorite singer is without a doubt Bon Scott.I love the abandon of early AC/DC & Kiss with passion & power of Led Zeppelin, the primal savagery of Black Sabbath & refined precision of Deep Purple. In short, I love metal, yet would go as far to say that I love Power,Dynamics,Contrast,& Texture.Passion.

Movies:

The Outsiders,Great Expectations,Shawshank Redemption, Scent of a Woman,Star Wars Trilogy or all six,& Lord of the Rings Trilogy!

Television:

Gene Simmon's Family Jewels!

Books:

The Artist's Way & The Fountainhead.I am currently enjoying Angels & Demons!

Heroes:

Anyone who walks to the beat of their own drum!Actually,my Mom,brothers Hubert & Robert.I'll stop there because there are many more people who could & should be listed!
