About Me

Feet trapped under briers in the dusty hot south, watching black wall clouds roll in. Take the random rhythm of thunder and the kick drum moon. Take them back to where the sounds began.After much writing I have been working on putting together a small band of miscreants and sideshow freaks. Junk Mongers and Mermaid Throwers and we will be preforming our carnival through out town soon. Come see the show. Set right up!Watch out for music sung into a can coming soon!I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
