About Me

Get your layout at Spaceboos . Well it was an interesting 2006, that's for sure! Which is really a blessing, because I had checked out, quit the race, (insert your analogy for "being lame here!). After 2 months in 2 different hospitals in 2 different stints, and several surgical operations later, the doctors, my ego, & my psychi have declared me A.O.K.!!Chris Robinson (Black Crowes, & fighting brother fame) often refers to "THE SONG". If you've ever been listened to by the masses, then you lend a voice to "THE SONG".I'm a survivor of HANOVER FISKE (Richmond, Va circa early 90's), although it took a while to heel up. I was the main songwriter/ rhythm guitarist/ backing vocal. We had reached the masses; in 1993 we reached 3rd place in "The EMI/Snickers New Music Search" (My memory is fuzzy on where we actually finished; see Hanover Fiske @ MY Space), and you might argue that college radio at that time was not 'the masses'. I agree.It wasn't 'til after I got out of the hospital, and started looking for some old friends online, did I realize I should be out there, I should be doing it. For me, I think, that was always other people, famous people. Writing music was not something that, "I LOVE TO DO!!" It was "a phase". I guess it better that I figured it out now, rather then never. And all because I flipped my car!!Anyway, to those who have help me see the light you probably don't even know you did it, "THANK YOU SO MUCH" I'm sorry I left you, but I am back now!!As Michael Stipe once sang "A hundred million birds fly"I do have some demos getting work on by some "Country Professionals" and I'm just as curios about that as you might be..Cross my fingers.
