About Me


me=Verve guitarist and, let’s face it, tramp.
Will be much more responsive when the madness slacks off whenever that might be.

See you soon god willing.

PS- spam, even if it isn’t your fault, and acts of self promotion by people other than close friends’ bands = instant blocking and deletion, sorry if that’s harsh. This shit is hard enough to manage as it is.
