About Me

I was born in Vancouver, Canada and conceived the week Seargent Pepper's came out. My father was a frustrated musician who put himself through university by playing drums in strip clubs. Thirty years later I ended up playing drums in some of the very same strip clubs he had played in during the sixties. I've made a living as a musician most of my adult life in Ireland, Canada, Los Angeles, Korea and France. I currently make a living as a producer and I play my own gigs and tour frequently.I'd like to meet John Steinbeck, George Orwell and Charles Bukowski but they are all dead. In a woman I would like to me a grown up human version of Lisa Simpson.
