About Me

Here a video that Rikk Beatty made from a few of our adventures playing music set against Paul Simon's song "You can call me Al". I'll start by saying that the songs you are hearing were recorded when I was in a band called Dtox in Spokane. I'm the lead guitar in the right channel. Now, onward to ME: I really love guitars. Not just playing them, but(t) I love working on them. Set ups, electronics, customizing, changing strings and so on. I'm a gear head too. I love rack stuff and gizmos and so on. I hope to open my own little shop for guitar repair within the next few years. Hmmm, I need to start thinking of a name for the shop. Any ideas? Dream rack:I love 80's music. I'm currently addicted to my Sirius Satellite Radio. I bought it for Howard Stern but(t) found that channel 8, The Big 80's, is where I spend most of my time. Channel 23, Hair Nation, gets some listening time too. I also can't get enough Captain Morgan's in my belly!Beyond that, i'm addicted to portable gaming. I love my playing my DS and watching movies on my PSP!I live in West Seattle, but(t) I'm (still) thinking aboot moving back to Spokane. I work at Home Depot as a Department Head in the kitchen and bath department. I give myself two years to get promoted again, where I'll probably move back to Spoane after that.I recommend the following bands: . I've been listening to them since 1988. Check them oot on myspace.Buried in Oblivion is an amazing disc. Go buy it now or listen to them here.I lived overseas most of my young life. My parents ended up in a small town called Kingsville in Texas, so I left as soon as I could. I spent 9 years in the Air Force traveling the world. Stationed oot of Spokane I made some amazing friends that I still hold very dear to me. I played a ton of hockey as a goalie. I love the Dallas Stars!When I got oot of the Air Force, I got a job as a Zamboni driver and played even more hockey. I REALLY need to get back to playing. My goalie hero is Eddie Belfour. Here he is after winning the Stanley Cup with the Dallas Stars.Things seemed to get stale for me in Spokane, so I moved oot to Settle to try my luck at life and love.
I pimped my shit with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

The secret they didn’t want you to read.

Updates including the show, gear and Kull and 33

The show was great! I was so jazzed to play and when we finally hit the stage, I feel like I left it all up there. Playing to 600 plus of my best friends, that was my biggest show to date. I wasn't ne...

Rant

"Yeah, I'd love to come see your band, can you get me in for free?"   How many time has that been said to anyone in a band? Most times, bands are playing some local dive and it's cool, because th...
