THE WAAG IS HERE!!

About Me

I'm your typical "Family Guy". I am married and have a great son who just graduated from college. Now on to medical school, or McDonalds--whichever strikes his fancy. I love most sports, and I am a music fan. I am particularly infatuated with synthesizers, especially anything Moog. The first time I heard Keith Emerson play his "Lucky Man" solo, I had to stop my car to take it all in. It changed my life musically, and sounded a lot cooler than the accordion that I used to play as a kid. I also drool at the sound of a Hammond B-3 when the Leslie speaker starts to crank up.At some point in time, I would like to post some original compositions on this site, but for now I just slosh around in my home studio, making me very happy and keeping my neighbors awake!

My Interests

Music, Keyboards, Guitars, Lacrosse, Photography,

I'd like to meet:

The Beatles!! Bil Baird, Bob Moog, Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson

Music:

Blues, Beatles, Electronic, Soundtrack, Oldies (60's and 70's stuff rocks!!), Polka (Hey I played accordion when I was a kid! Anyone want to hear "Lady of Spain"? It's an accordion classic!)

Movies:

"The Sound of Music" is the best movie ever!! Love those Bil Baird puppets in "The Lonely Goatherd". I DEFINITELY had the hots for Charmian Carr, who played Liesl. To an 11 year old kid, she was about as hot as any 16 year old could be (that is probably because she was 21 when she played the 16 year old Liesl!). As a matter of fact, I still have the hots for Liesl!!

Television:

Large screen Hi-Def is best...

Books:

Usually technical stuff, or artist bios...

Heroes:

See "Who would I'd like to Meet"
