    MySpace Layouts MySpace Codes MySpace Backgrounds
I was the promoter behind the Quixotic Music Festival at Sterling Stage. I am a Latin percussionist and have worked hard for ten years to be able to say that. You can find me at Oswego's favorite open mic at Old City Hall singing the blues or jamming out with friends. I also play percussion in Washington DC from time to time with Christine Lilyea. I have played in various bands with her since 1999 and we still get along most of the time(ha ha.) I am currently writing and photographing for the Northeast music Mag. The Groovelink traveling around to review all of the wonderful music we have in the northeast. I am a huge supporter of the Change the World Tour www.changetheworldtour.com this is an effort to raise global awareness on environmental issues and other socially challenging issues. They are doing some really great things...check it out!! I have the pleasure of working on the Sterling Stage Folk Festival, Sting Fling, and Last Daze of Summer Festival with Eric McElveen as a stage manager...working with many wonderful and talented musicians. www.sterlingstage.com (check out the site!) I am basically a workaholic these days. I am a big pain in the ass. I love my music, my work, and my life and that is the secret to true happiness, my friends. As a side note...I love to take photographs...most of the pictures on here I have taken on some of my adventures. Enjoy!
