KingGrub (aka Don Cook)

About Me

Hi...My name is Don Cook and welcome to my MySpace site. With this site I hope to capture the musical journey I've been on since the days of playing in a bedroom in a small town in Northern New York State, to the clubs of Cleveland, OH and finally to the Line 6 company parties in SoCal. Some bands and projects I've been a part of: Orlyc, Boenta, Bonzo Hogfoot Doo Da Band, The Wind, Ceilings Below, Let's Go, Odd Man Out, Cool Down Daddy, BX721, Chris Demkow, Big Krunch, 3bc, Hidden Messages, Sprockets. ENJOY!
