About Me

I'm the singer/guitarist(Lead...screw that Ian guy) and occasional ivory tickler of fORMER(Nashville, TN), as well as slinging axe and providing various vocal embellishments to the songs of Loveshine(Peoria, IL); a recently re-activated power-pop project from my younger days. My musical resume also includes stints with the now-defunct Bombshell Crush, and the still-swingin' Best Of Seven(Los Angeles, CA) and you can probably find CDs from both of these bands somewhere on Amazon, eBay, or some random used CD shop in Tupelo, MS, if you were so inclined. I'm a songwriter. I appreciate a tall Jack & Coke when the mood strikes. I have an old dog....he usually smells, but we love him anyway. I own a record shop in Pekin, IL, Co-Op Records. Occasionally I travel north from my home in NashVegas to supervise my brother and his henchmen as they do my bidding....really I just miss my shop and crew, but they'll never hear that from me. I often piss away my time driving without a destination just to hear myself think. I love Sun Drop cola....sue me. I can't eat anything with bones in it or anything that retains the general shape of itself in living form....that shit grosses me out. I have great friends and a cool family...in particular my Mom...the best. I don't go to church, but I'd like to believe. I eat too much junk food...my sweet tooth is the stuff of legends, but I have shaken the pastry monkey from my back. I used to love that band Trixter....and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I hate cold. I miss California. I love Nashville...most days. I don't sleep much. I hate idle time. I think Elvis Costello's "Man Out Of Time" is quite possibly my favorite song of all time....not sure though. I don't get TOOL...the band....sorry, I think you've all been duped....silly lemings.Queensryche really were good once...just for the record.I'm red/green colorblind if anybody wants to mess with me at a traffic light. I guess that's all for now....more later.
