About Me

I'm nobody in particular. Really.What I DO, though is cool. I have a guitar store called BCR Music & Sound. Check us out at www.bcrmusic.com, if you care. I repair guitars for CSNY, Godsmack, Cheap Trick, Green Day, Silvertide, Satellite Party, Nugent, Supersuckers, Flyleaf....the list goes on. I hump gear and change broken strings for the New York Dolls. I restore vintage guitars, and occasionally vintage motorcycles. Oh, I play guitar a bit, with a bunch of crazy bastards called Grumpy Old Men. I used to do a lot of session work, chances are you've heard me without knowing it.I don't mind being nobody...
