I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Brian Black. I am a worship leader/guitarist/vocalist/Industrial Hygienist/music trivia buff hailing from Lawrenceburg, KY. To be a bit more specific, I am the lead vocalist/guitarist for One Day Less. Check us out at www.myspace.com/onedayless. I also work with the praise/worship music ministry at Hope Community Church in L-burg, KY. My day job is as a state gov't. employee, so the hours are great. It leaves me plenty of time for my other passions in life, namely bass fishing and memorizing random movie quotes. Also, I'm a big believer in Crook Custom Guitars. Check out the link below, or check out my pics to see the 3 guitars Bill Crook has built for me.Take the quiz:
Which Anchorman Are You?

Ron Burgundy
I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science.You are Ron Burgundy. Witty and charming, everyone loves you.

Late night, post turkey musings
