About Me

Thank you for visiting my website. Throughout the decades I've met a lot of people; perhaps you are one of the people I've met along the way. My friend Jamie Hoover convinced me to put together this site. He said his site had given him enjoyment and it had helped him sell some music on CD Babay and iTunes. You can download my music at both of those places. I’ve tried to change things up frequently, change the songs every once in a while to keep things interesting. I also took hundreds of pictures in the early days of the MC band, maybe you’ll find a picture of a show you attended back in the day. (I’ll get those up real soon) I also like to do a fair amount of writing, and I’ve posted a few thousand words in the blogs (rantings). Some of them are part of a coming of age story I’ve been working on about being in a rock band, some of them are political things I’ve written for classes and what not. Bang around the site, come back and visit from time to time, I’ll try to keep it fluid. Thanks for stopping by, RC
