"Life is all about ass; you're either covering it, laughing it off, kicking it, kissing it, busting it, trying to get a piece of it, or behaving like one!"
I'd like to meet:
ANYONE!"
I am NOT star struck, but I would like and do like to meet Rock "N" Roll Musicians, and musicians in general - famous or not!"
I have met some really neat TV/Movie stars, Models, and Musicians on MySpace since I became a member, and it has been awesome!!"
I admire, appreciate, and respect our Military!
Without our Military we'd be up SHIT CREEK - literally!
Here is a blurb about my musical training.
Can you manage to get through all of it?
As an infant; and with the help of my musically talented/pianist Mom, began to explore music through the piano. At the early age of five, I began formal piano/music/theory training. After six years at this pace (recitals and all) I started formal trumpet/music/theory training. My initial trumpet instructor was a former, first-chair trumpet player for the Stan Kinton Band. Shortly thereafter, I (unfortunately) quit piano training. I then joined the Camarillo, California Los Altos Junior High School marching/concert band, and continued playing the trumpet throughout my high school years in Mayfield's (Las Cruces, New Mexico) marching/concert band. I played the trumpet in my first year of college at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico, then progressed towards my dream of becoming a kick ass
BASS PLAYER!
And I've Been There, Done That, Wrecked That Shit People!!
I have been a member of groups named:
One-on-One, Cross Fire, Denial, Many Nameless Bands
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
"LIQUOR FISH"
"!!OH MY GOD!!"
"An Original"
"ROCK BAND""
You're AWESOME/KUDOS go to my wife JENNIFER, and my sons JOSHUA and JEREMY. Your many years of support and putting up with the SHIT means a lot to me!

Music:
Definitely not into RAP or Hip-Hop (sorry to my buds who like it though, don't hate me!!!) though I hear it all the time because of my teenage sons. I prefer good RAWK (70s, 80s, 90s, 00's, and metal) or sometimes (depending on the mood) Country. I am not into classical music much, but coming from a musical background naturally I respect and the venue. My favorite bands are M!SS CRAZY, Judas Priest, Halford, Aerosmith, KISS, DANGER DANGER, Heart, W.A.S.P., Rush, Def Leppard, Journey, Korn, Zombie. My list could go on-and-on. I'm a musician and have been since I was five years old.
Movies:
In college, I specialized in TV, Film, and Radio Production, Mass Communications is my major, and I have a minor in Horticulture. I have seen so many movies (worked in the TV business for awhile) that I can't remember most at all. Or could that be an age thing? Too much college weed perhaps?
Television:
Food Network, Court TV, 24, Lost, HELL'S Kitchen (what a trip that was/is!), America's Most Wanted, Top Cops.
Books:
True crime, rock band bios, porn! ;o)
Heroes:
Our Military Dudes and Dudettes! I just melt for that shit!
