Why does everyone keep calling you B?

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1NOTE: If you've followed the Elton John Tribute Band link here, you'll notice that this has nothing to do with that. Why, you ask? Because this is my personal MySpace page created ages ago to keep in touch with my neice and nephew while I was still living in Los Angeles. Now it's where I act like an idiot with all my old high school friends.
That said---
I've recently relocated from Los Angeles to Phoenix and am a slave to Eric Turner's Tribute to Sir Elton John show and their collective lovechild, The AzCasters . I've worked in theater all my life as an image consultant, photographer, sound and lighting designer and technician and sometimes I even take the stage myself.At this point, I do everything from making angry phone calls on behalf of anyone who asks, writing glowing reviews about live band gigs, photographing misbehaving musicians, slugging through the nights as a webslave, being a newlywed, and still scrounging up time to be an amateur writer.
Everybody knows, it's imperative that you cover a Leonard Cohen song before you die. This is mine. Vocals by me
Music arranged and produced by Patrick Copeland. Recorded at UpTil4 Music & Multimedia, Covina, California
Press "PLAY" to hear.
