About Me

............................................................ .............................................UPDATE!!!!!! MY NEW FAVORITE QUOTE; "I've suffered for my music, .. so now it's your turn" Neil Innes LOL! THANK YOU MR. INNES. ............................................................ ..................GET OUT YOUR BEST SET OF HEADPHONES KICK BACK! ;-)I started playing at 15, basically cut my teeth sort of speak playing the clubs of the RI/Boston area at the time surrounded by the music of the area like Beaver Brown ( I think John Cafferty did Bruce better than Bruce ;-) ), Talking Heads, The Joe Perry Project and The Probers ( remember them folks?? ). Been playing all over the east coast and UK (RI,Boston,NYC,SC,FL,IN,GA,OH) for the last 26 years. I play guitar, bass, keys, drums, flute, sax, oboe, clarinet, and some odds and ends (getting my bagpipes any day now :-) ). Established a small studio in New Orleans where I have been trying to get into film scoring, and been doing more advertising work, Ive been playing and working and been lucky enough to teach some students too, off and on for the last few years.------------ favorite quotes "and in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love, you make" Lennon & McCartney, "steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and they make you King" Dylan, " The Zen philosopher Basha once wrote ; a flute with no holes is not a flute, and a donut with no hole is a danish, nananannanana " or "I feel like a hundred dollars" Chevy Chase ;-)

Member Since: 17/12/2006
Band Website: [email protected] to contact me ;-) or IM
Band Members:Update!!! I'm very sad to hear that Norman "Hurricane" Smith has passed on. I will alway remember the kind messages he had taken the time to send me and his words of encouragement. I will always be a fan of his solo work and of course will always revere his ground breaking work with the Beatles under George Martin. He will surely be missed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY SPACE FOR COMPLETELY MESSING UP MY MUSIC PLAYER AND LOSING MY PLAY COUNTS, AND NOW NO ONE CAN DOWNLOAD MY MUSIC. THANKS AGAIN MY SPACE YOU REALLY CAME THROUGH. IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY MUSIC FILE I OFFER OF MINE PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT [email protected] AND I’LL SEND THEM IMMEDIATELY AS AN E-MAIL ATTACHMENT. THANKS SORRY AGAIN FOR THE INCONVENIENCE ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .................There are no members only me, I play everything on my tracks, The Songs you hear in most cases are replications I've done for advertising work, IE; "Imagine" was for an Infant Hospital Ad. In some cases though the Songs are original material written by myself such as at the moment the displayed song "Movin' On". I would place more of the original material but I figure why unnecessarily torture innocent visitors ;-) Enjoy all thanks as always for listening. IF YOU'VE LISTENED TO ANYTHING LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, EVEN IF YOU HATE IT! I LIKE TO HEAR ALL VIEWS, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE LEFT MESSAGES THANK YOU SO MUCH! CHEERS :-)
Influences: Influenced by The Beatles (who isn't influenced by them?), Nat King Cole, 10cc!!!, Harry Nilsson, Squeeze, Elvis Costello, The Beach Boys, ELO, Jeff Beck, Stanley Clarke, Thomas Dolby, Lindsey Buckingham, Stones, James Taylor, Dylan, Miles Davis, Nellie McKay, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, SRV, Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones, Pretenders, Kathy Valentine, Corinne Bailey Rae & Nellie McKay are my favorite new artists, There is just so much potential them. And many more I mean we could go all day LOL
