About Me

About me. I'm from Winnipeg. It's cold here. When it's not cold here I like it cause that means it's summer. When it's cold here I hate it cause I hate being cold. I play bass. My idol is Chris Squire of Yes. If you've never heard of Yes, listen to "Roundabout" and work your way from there. I think it'll take me at least another 3 years to play bass as well as I want to, then form the world's best progressive rock band and revitalize the genre. I wear green. Why? Because I want to. Why do you breathe? I love progressive rock. If you're not sure what that is, just ask me and I'll be happy to try and explain it to you. I work at a golf course. It's fun. If you ever need to talk, I'll listen.
