About Me

I love music and love to play and write it. That is that. And laughter is the answer to life's painful mysteries. I produce music in my studio and play guitar in the bands Secret Agent Abe, the Big Mechanical Bull, Allie Moss/Andrew Light jazz duo, and my new secret, unnamed "indie rock with jazz chords" band that is taking over my life. And soon, yours? Gee, I sure hope so.
