About Me

im an ole geyser that about 6 year,s ago came upon a harmonica and started playing around with it . i guess you could say a sound addiction was started. now i have 2 full sets of major keys . and then i received a native american flute from my dad, and now i own 7 . then i picked up a bass and amp and now i have one, well ya gotta stop somewhere. then i got a eletric 6 string but i didnt like it so i swaped it for a acoustic eletric that i like and yes only one ! then i bought a very inexpensive classical guitar. and fell in love so now i have 2 and im working on my third and possibly 4th . and to think this all started with one little harmonica . now with my partners we are writing and performing song after song and having a ball doing it . so just remember and take a lesson from me if you find a harmonica laying about PUT IT DOWN AND RUN . or you may wind up like me LOL. But if you need a harp for a song even if its just to see how it would sound samples are free and i love to play live, for gas and beer money . and i am available to most whom think a harp might sound cool. so give me a call and lets see what i can do with and for your song you no longer need to be curious its as close as a e-mail to find out .

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/14/2005
Band Website: inthemusicroom.com/
Band Members: as an independent @ harmonica/bass and vocals ,percussion,some guitar work, i play with a great number of folks and sit in with bands also , this makes for quite and intersting approach to music. it allows me the freedom and versitiliy to do what i feel needs to be done and go where i feel their is a need . so im a freelance sound man and capable of doing a number of tricks musically speaking. always on the lookout for that one special place where i might be just the right touch . howver at this time im teaming up with three very talnted young guys to take off on another band project this one is called "DEMOLISHD CHORDS BAND " we are going to be polishing up and getting ready for some upcoming shows keep a eye on my dates and listing to see where we will be next!!
Influences: well i guess i would say the reason i decided to start was due to one song by one man since i have found other harpesters that are reall kuuulll players. the song that started the want to in me was Jimmy Buffett- COST OF MARSALLIES done by Greg" fingers " Taylor the rest is history 4 years later im on my way to acheive the sound that inspired me to play. i dont play for money or gas just a couple of beer,s and meeting new folk,s, i just love meeting people. so i get to do both, i only wished i could retire now and just do this meeting people and playing full time oh well. since i began my second harping harping hero was a blues man called "James Cotton"
Sounds Like: im having the best time of my life my musican friends and i are doing so much varied music it would be impossible to say whom we sound like ,so i perfer to sound like dillion to the eagles some blues and R&B a lot of country not much on rockabilly, some are pretty good, christian contemporaray and spanish classical guitar indie some metal so i try to pick songs that help us diversify and be entertaining no specific genere we also do some musical comedy song.found this movies layout at HOT: FreeLayouts.com :: MyHotComments
