"Sorrow Spoken Here"

About Me

Professional Musician/Producer. I've worked with many artists in many eclectic genres of music. My particular favorite musical categories being those intricately intertwined hybrids fused together from two or more totally inverse styles ("Brazasia", anyone?). Rules are fine for the basics, but improvision being the key to originality, those same rules must be reconsidered when experimenting with the impossible (No, I'm not on drugs...you either "get it" or you don't).

My weapon of choice is the "Six-Stringed Axe" but I can fare rather well on percussions, bass, keys, pencil and paper. I love writing and discovering new material but nothing beats being behind the board. There are so many incredible toys for producers here in the Digital Age...things that can create aural enviornments that sound like the most beautiful places like Paradise, Heaven, etc. to the most sinister places like Hell, The Abyss or Arkansas.

Humor is a necessity for us all. If you don't laugh at those little jokes Life plays on you then Life will sneak into your room one night and shave your pets.

In addition to music I am also a writer. I write a column about pipes and tobacco and am currently working on several writing projects.
I was diagnosed with Advanced Stage Three colon cancer on April 6, 2006 and was officially declared as cured on January 18, 2007.
Another badass quiz from eSPIN-the-Bottle...
The eSPIN Personality Test

MY RESULT: Saint


You can't be a better person than a saint. You're selfless, sweet, and we wouldn't be surprised if you could perform a miracle or two.
Of all the personality types on this test, yours is by far the most respectable. We mean, how couldn't everyone love you?
Just remember, though - as nice as it is to help other people, sometimes you gotta help yourself a little, too. Don't be afraid to a little selfish every now and then. Seriously! We give you permission.

Take This Quiz!

I'd like to meet:

Ah! A few ground rules:
1. Folks who actually want to have bilateral communication on a regular basis! If all you want is another number for your friends list, please pass me by.
2. If you type "ghetto" (Ex: "Yo G sup? Hollaback atcha!") please don't submit an add request! I only speak English and a little Italian.
3. If you're an anti-smoker (you know who you are!) please do NOT message me! I am not interested in hearing your phony "statistics" or opinions.
4. If you send out mass bulletins telling me that my penis will fall off if I don't read and obey your bulletins, please grow up and get a life!
Pretty simple, eh?
