About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4........................................................ ....................................................Born in the so-called 'Viertel' in Bremen, in the north of Germany, as a kid always tippin' some rhythm with my feet or my hands and every time my mother told me not to be that nervous I just gave her my - "I'm not nervous mom, I'm a musician!" answer........................Some years later when i was struggling for an acoustic guitar but at the moment my parents gave me this 'toys'r'us' junk for Christmas I knew that they wouldn't be the right ones to support my ambitions.....................A classmate of mine who just got kinda famous in Germany with his band and a great song about a tiny little town called 'Delmenhorst' helped me to buy my first steel string guitar and managed to teach me the few chords that Bob Dylans 'Blowin' in the wind' requires and from that moment on the acoustic guitar has been part of my life.............................. When the time came to play in some famous band I had to realize that the musical world already was crowded with guitar heroes who could lay down much better playing styles than I could, but still too early to lay my dreams of playing music to rest I filled the typical gap that nearly every band had to fill at that time - the bass player!...............................But after getting tired of all this Rockband stuff some years ago I decided to play acoustic music again and I've been drawn to the universe of singers and songwriters and still I am impressed by the fact that so many of them can play the finest and best songs in the world - with only a singing voice , one guitar and lots of passion and soul....................Some of these great musicians are listed on my page of friends, so please check them out!
