Indiana Bugles

I like to make a noise, Guns Guitars and Bugles are best. Violins and Mandolins are not quite as goo

About Me

I am 36, Married with two kids.

My Interests


American Civil war, History and Playing Music. I play Violin, Mandolin, Guitar , Mountain Dulcimer and Bugle. I take my music very seriously but remain open minded. I love Folk music and especially American Civil War folk, Martins Rattler and Fifty Cents especially. I also enjoy playing Classical duets and chamber music. On the flip side Rock and Metal are not beyond me either and I have done all on stage. I am currently learning the full set of infantry calls for the bugle and its a ballache.

I'd like to meet:

Abraham Lincoln, the man who said this!!!
Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

Music:

Any, love it all except rap. I am playing on the Archair warrior recording above, violin that is. Sad really great band but unfortunatly now split. Still cool memories.
This guy on the YouTube vidio below is Retaw boyce, he is a class A violin player. Check him out on Youtube for all the different styles he plays in. .. ..

Movies:

Heroes:
