About Me

I'm 45 years old. Music is a big part of my life. I did all the usual things musicians do. Played in my high school band, sang in the choir those kinds of things. I set this profile up hoping to meet some like minded musicians in my area. Townsedger is one. We've been friends forever. If you're familiar with his site then you've probably seen reference of me in it. I'm a bass player. My influeces range far and wide. Starting with the big band music my dad listened to. That's why my taste in music leans toward the more progressive side of Rock music. I'd like to join a band that wants to do original music. If we have to cover music for ahwile, that's fine but I do not want to play the same old lame bar standards. I'd rather do something people may not recognize, and have them go wow. So if this sounds like something that interests you, give me a yell.

American Idol and other moronic tendancies

This should dispell the rumor that American Idol is a hit with everyone.  Sorry to tell you but, it's nothing more than a sad reminder of what this country has become.  Simply put, nothing i...
