Stand at Attention!

About Me

Krestovsky moonlighting with SDR (of the Agrarians)... played in various Baltimore ensembles over the years (The Fantastic Bushmen, Blakk Sweat, etc.)... now, settling into rigorous domesticities... both working for the common goode and soundtracking their lives (together and separately). Think Crosby/Nash or Riley/Cale or Sumner/Marr. Not at all Stills/Young.
