Mike

People don't always tell you what they are thinking. They just see to it that you don't advance in l

About Me

*I try to lead an interesting life. *I write, play music, photograph, repair computers, design, record, race motorcycles, pinstripe . . . whatever life brings me on a particular day. *I play bass, guitar, piano, sax, etc . . . *I love good coffee! *People fear my beard. Very strange. *10 years USAF active duty and reserves, 1984-1994 *I'm Mike; skilled, never bored, atypical.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to connect with people I used to know and people who are good to know. Did I go to school with you or play in a band with you? Do you need a bass player? Was I in the USAF or Reserves with you? Do you love my beard?? Friend me. I want to meet talented eclectic musicians, people with similar or divergent interests, artistic/creative types who are true to themselves and know how to make a buck. I strive to do the right things, for the right reasons. Quid pro quo. That is all.
