About Me

Hacking through the musical underbrush since 1976, I am a graduate of the Mel Bay academy of bass. Currently known as the head bobbing goof in the back of the following bands: Swamperella, Sisters of Sheynville, Alistair Christl and the Swingin Chandeliers , Fred Specks Camp Combo and with singer song-writer Max Woolaver. I have recorded on many albums of various genres, from wildly original and funky to very derivative and folky. The music I have posted here is from bands that I currently play with such as The Sisters of Sheynville and Swamperella, and bands that I played with in the eighties and ninties such as Random Order , Mother Tongue , Animal Slaves and The Courage of Lassie .
