About Me

A bass player seeking musician friends. "If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how—the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what's said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference." —Abraham Lincoln. ____________________________________________________________ ____ My dad passed away 5/29 of this year. This song on my profile is in honor of him. I am still working on it and some more songs. I thought for Father's Day it would be nice to put on MySpace even though it is not finished - this one is for you dad. Mark.
