About Me

I am a scatterbrained musician and audio engineer. I’m sort of a spazz, but also very easy going. I enjoy taking liberties with the English language.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

All kinds of characters: Wanderers, wayfarers, wordsmiths, creative types, crooners, cranks, Christmas caganers, thinkers, thespians, sophisticates, scoundrels, sages, frauds, flappers, folklorists, enthusiasts, artists, drinkers, dancers, daredevils, lovers, learners, loose-lipped liars, humanitarians, humorists, and harlots. People who are not afraid to be who they are. People who like to pepper their stories with wonderful nuggets of embellishment.

Music Awards

Went to the Seattle Weekly Music Awards Ceremony last night. Oddly, I'm never really that motivated to treat music as a competition (unless, of course, there are large sums of cash involved). But this...

Thor

Finally I have met Thor, Canadian body builder and heavy metal legend. His band showed up just a little too late to do a sound check, but I did it for them anyway because I essentially realized that ...
