My Interests

"CODE 88s" a little fun band that we had after work in 1997 while working at Camelot Music in Hoover AL

I'd like to meet:

cool people

Music:

I was fortunate enough to have a front row seat for "Bison Bash" on 11/4/05 Since it didn't appear that there was a "no video" rule, I partook for a moment (or two)Enjoy "Death of Mother Nature" by PROTO-KAW

Movies:

April 24, 1999... the only time I know of that both Robby and David (Ragsdale) took the stage together. Once again as luck would have it I was close to the stage w/video camera in hand"Dust in the Wind" with violin duet

Television:

I got to sit (on drums) in with the "Travlin' Wheatheads" a perpetual group of musicians who happen to be hardcore "Kansas/Livgren" fans on November 5, 2005 after a Kansas show in KC. This was very spontanious and unrehersed performance.. John Christopher can be seen on bass... it was a thrill for me to play with him along with (offscreen) Bill Durham guitar, Garth Hjette and Kerry O'brien ..s and popping on and off screen once in a while on vocals and guitars.. Jake Livgren. I don't know the names of the charming Euros that covered the (in your face) vocals but they traveled a long way to see Kansas and try out American beer so it was indeed a pleasure. Bill "prog-rock" Hammell is the not so animated vocalist in the center. I feel I made a specticle of myself but "that's rock and roll baby"

"Doors"

I wrote this waiting on a train to go by. I think subconsciously I was seeing each car as different people in my life that have been a special influence. So it's not really a mushy "love" poem th...
