About Me

I have to start by saying that music is my life....I love music....i am very eclectic.....except for when it comes to country....the country i hear nowadays shouldn't even be considered "Country"...examples of what i call country would be Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Conway Twitty and the like...anywho--I love to sing....I also love to play the drums...i love all percussion instruments, but drums are my main deal...i also enjoy experimenting on the guitar and play a pretty mean trombone as well...i have the blessing and the curse of playing all my instruments by ear...i recently left my last music project (Mr.Quik and the Gunslinger) to do music for the Lord (Jesus, that is) because i feel that my musical gift was given to me by the good Lord and i want to lift his name with that gift...Besides being a music fiend I am also a movie fanatic.....i collect movie posters as well....I feel sometimes that i was born past my time....like maybe somewhere around 1971 might have been more my era....i love to buy t-shirts, button-ups and ties at thrift stores (pants when i'm lucky)....i have an intense love for aviator shades....an intense love for the art of Hacky Sack also burns within my loins like a flaming, golden hawk....i'm also a big fan of ping pong (like hardcore Forrest Gump-style ping pong)...i became acquainted with the wonderful activity of Bouldering semi-recently and it is very much like crack in it's addictiveness...i am now a member of a climbing team called V4 Posers...check us out (on my friends list)...i love bouldering and my climbing team very much...on a side note AriZona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey(orange honey, mind you) is the greatest drink ever known to man.....for more information about AriZona call 1-800 TEA 3775...also feel free to check out this link that contains a bunch of random photos besides the ones on here: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/stovtop07/my_photos
