About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Thanks for dropping by my site. I work full-time as a bass player which, of course, means I am broke most of the time. Above are some examples of me playing, the last of which I just keep it simple and lay down a blues shuffle just to let anyone interested in me as a bass player know that I do believe the phat groove is more important than all the chops. I am available for hire including studio and live (touring if need be), talking about baseball, or if you just enjoy hanging out with strange, bald-headed blues bass players. I am also well-versed in most styles of past and present including pop, rock, industrial and electronica, country, jazz, funk, nu and old-metal, nu- R&B, hip-hop, etc.... I can do polkas too but I prefer not to. Charts OK. Number system OK. Pizza definitely OK! I am a quick study and I know music theory, Einstein's Relativity theory (E=MC2), and Stephen King books ( Eerie Theory) plus I already know a kajillion songs of various genres and time-periods. I also SING, play KEYBOARDS, SYNTHBASS, and PLAYSTATION 2. ...... Oh, yeah - one more thing: I am a HUGE fan of the TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS, the NEW YORK METS, TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS, MANCHESTER UNITED, DC UNITED, and ORLANDO MAGIC
