I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

As far as Myspace is concerned I am just a musician looking to meet* and network with others like me.
*As in face-to-face, converse, exchange of ideas; this does NOT mean click a button on a computer to be arbitrarily added to a list on someone's profile.

My Interests

Bluegrass is the object of my addiction.
My interests are mostly in music. My tastes are pretty eclectic but right now I am leaning more towards traditional types of American music, especially Bluegrass. The more "old timey"/"hillbilly" the better. I love live shows, from a good local band all the way to more well known artists.Guitars, Banjos, tattoos, "functional" piercings, Legos, the balance of the universe. Specifically how order and chaos interact with one another to maintain said balance.

"In this house we obey the laws of Thermodynamics!"
- Homer Simpson

"I listened to Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger. And I went to this bluegrass festival in Winfield and saw people rocking on acoustic instruments. I realized there was more to music than Ministry and Pigface."
-Kirk Rundstorm of Split Lip Rayfield.

"We'll soon stage an attack on technology worthy of being chronicled in an anthem by Rush!" - Bender

"The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man" - G.K. Chesterton
"All life is biology. All biology is physiology. All physiology is chemistry. All chemistry is physics. All physics is math." Dr. Stephen Marquardt
