About Me

The former lead singer for Bongo Jones and current sax player for the ska band Bigger Thomas. I should also add the current singer and guitar player for Go Go Volante. I've been playing sax since I was 8 years old. Started on alto, which for some reason I still have, and now play tenor. I haven't taken a lesson in years. You decide if that's good or bad. I love playing music and can't think of anything I'd rather do.

While some people enjoy wine, I like a good beer. That means something with some taste. Usually German or English. You know, the top 2 beer countries! Newcastle ROCKS! Say No to bad beer. It rots your intestines.

NUFC crew - the boys will be back. Kevin Keegan to the rescue.

Boingo

I decided to pay tribute to a favorite band of mine with my new MySpace layout.  Oingo Boingo was one of those 80's new wave bands that just got me through high school.  Every time I hear a ...

Bongo is dead

It's 2 days since we played our last show at 449 in Trenton and God how I'm depressed.  Playing with the same guys for over 8 years has been unbelievable.  It was like dating.  And now ...
