About Me

Life is too short not to be having a little fun my friends. Live it up a little. I like the simple pleasures of life: friends, music and a few beers. Check out the Kings County Opry to get an idea of what I'm talking about.I also play in a band Sweet William, I guess an alt-country type of thing. Check out the myspace/sweetwilliammusic. I'm playing around with a new band called Dock Oscar and The Chenango County Line, a sort of bluegrass-ish band. Anyhow, I run the Kings County Opry and a couple of other things with my bud Alex. We don't rich off of music, but we damn sure have a good time! Ain't that the point?
