About Me

HELLO!!!! Welcome to my personal place here at MySpace. For those of you who know me... I'm very sorry. For those that don't... I am a professional musician and graphic artist living near Madison, WI. I play out frequently, mostly with my cover band Cherry Pie , my acoustic group Unstrung Heroes and as a solo acoustic performer. When I'm not working, hangin' with my kids or wasting time online I love to go see other musicians and bands whenever I can.

Here I am at Brat Fest in May of 2007...

That's gratitude for ya

I find it sickly amusing to hear some people call the Iraqi people "ungrateful" for what we (USA) have "done for them." In response I think writer Jonathan Schwarz made a good point whe...
