About Me

I have been playing drums since 1988 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In recent years I have undergone several major surgeries to cure me of ULCERATIVE COLITIS and I may possibly have CHRON's DISEASE. Apparently he didn't want it anymore. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=I was in the Canadian Military for 5IVE years as a TANK GUNNER with the ROYAL CANADIAN DRAGOONS in Petawawa Ont, and have since been released on a medical discharge.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=So now I'm back serving my natural curse and passion - ??MUSIC?? - full time as a DRUM instructor by day and SUPER-VILLAIN by night... I mean, umm... House & Home Domestic Engineer by night. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=Home Recording is my current affair as I produce the simple songs that I write so they may sound somewhat as a PROPER song should. Like a Painter needs to paint numerous attempts on rough drafts to achieve that one final MASTERPIECE; I am learning myself around the ART of PAINTING MUSIC and SONGWRITING. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=So if you think my songs are weak or lacking something, that's fine because it is your opinion - and i would like to hear any comments (good & bad & critical too) and feedback from my few listeners. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=More ??SONGS?? are coming, just trying to get them recorded to post them here and when 8IGHT or more tracks are ready, I will publish a few CD's to sell at performances.-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=I also enjoy SHOPPING, long walks on the BEACH and Steven Seagal Movies and..umm...no. I mean... you know...?????
