About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I get disappointed seeing bands that have the dream, but are blinded by that same very dream that drives them. I critic live shows and business ethic. These are the final elements that can make or break a band. If you can be lucky enough to produce a great demo, then you better be prepped damn good on the live performance and how to handel the situation, presenting your images/band as a business for market. Getting a web site up and going and getting a decent demo is about a few bucks and a tad bit of effort, but live performance as a business is a whole other game.No band is great from the get go. It takes alot of discipline to achieve a good live show and actually entertain. I give FREE advice on how to improve the weaknesses that 99% of the bands have. Some may take it personally, but let me tell you that it..s better to hear it from me, than someone that is in the industry.The advice I be offer is straight from experience and what I have learned from studying 1000+ shows, several music related seminars, speaking one on one w/several A&R..s, and research into building the perfect performing business band.

My Interests

Family, guitars, music, cars, and boats.I live music. My interest starts w/experience and this seed that has rooted. Some call me Bee The Builder, because I build.

I'd like to meet:

Ohio (bordering states) independent musicians that grasp the concept of conducting themselves as a business. Bands that will do what ever it takes to get through the toughest and most rewarding game known to industry. Bands that have the adaptations to step outside the box and act as professionals on a buisiness level. Bands that have something more than just a great demo. Bands that commit and don..t quit no matter how much shit hits the fan! Bands that have what it takes to be gold.

Music:

"Music is the most powerful art form there is and to limit ones self to fashion, is to miss out on true art."

Movies:

Right now Epics about true history. My other faves are Death Race 2000, Easy Riders, Lord of The Rings, DOGMA, car flicks, Cheech & Chong, and anything that provokes thought and laughter. Horror flicks make me laugh.

Television:

Documentaries. I like reality shows. They somehow make my life look simpler and they show the true nature of us screwed up humans. Sure some may be actors, but it comes so easy to them as it is true human nature. Anyone can play a human. Fake crime dramas make me sick. They are breeding victoms (think about it). Commercials suck and promote short attention spans. I do like the HBO originals like Enterouge, Sopranos, Rome, etc.... . They have no commercials.

Books:

Non fiction. I rarely have the time to read and it makes me want to poop from all of these years reading magazines/catalouges on the toilet(my ass is trained). Most of my reading is on line and provoked by research. For some reason reading online does..nt make me wanna poop.

Heroes:

Our creator is my hero for putting up w/us nasty humans for so long. I can..t say that I would have the same patients and understanding given the power, but I..m learning each day and thankful for life.
