Too True to be Good

About Me

I am lost in the solitude of thought. In my head I hear symphonies I cannot compose and follow stories I cannot write. I have never had a bad dream. I believe in magic, I have seen the impossible, and I have a personal time vortex. I can't cook, but I sure can eat. I don't dance, but I sometimes make people want to. Also, I find that merely sitting in front of a keyboard chases the words from my mind... ____________________________________________________________ _I am a 20 year veteran of music appearing in such bands as "Great Awakening" (1990-1994, Rock, Greensboro, NC), "Bob Spelled Backwards" (1991-1996, Comedy/Folk/Bizarre, Boone/Greensboro/Sunset Beach, NC),"3-Five-7" (1994-1997, Folk/Rock, Boone, NC), "Jiffylust" (1996-1998, Jazz Fusion, Boone, NC), "Garden of Sirens" (1998, Goth Rock, Wilmington, NC), "The Muse" (1998-2000, Prog-Rock, San Diego, CA), "Magnuson" (2002-2004, Prog-Rock, San Diego, CA), "earthShine" (2004-Present, Psychadelic Techno/Folk, San Diego, CA value="http://void.snocap.com/s/T3-31324-TXQDN32CQS-S/" /
