Am I Doing This Right?

About Me


adopt your own virtual pet!Hi There, I’m Tom. Some people call me Gino, but that’s another story and you can't get all the dirt till later. Anywho, I am a professional designer, and Bassist. I have been doing art since (hmmm) birth, and Graphic Design for about 18 years but only 5 years professionally. I am not far from finishing my degree and moving on to a career in art direction.Music, hmmm, well, I used my HS grad $ to buy a guitar-amp-& leather jacket (1990) and ended up mostly watching someone else play the thing. In the corner was this other guitar-ugly thing with only four strings. I played it cause no one else wanted too. I fell in love with it and spent well over a decade doing that professionally. What a blast. Not so profitable though.In am here networking for music interests and art. It would please me to find musicians who have similar interests. I basically play to serve the song. I play Bass because it puts me in an environment where I get to listen to (hopefully) great music, and being the one on the low down (Bass) I get to be the bump that rattles the rump. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkeXHsO6KKI
