About Me
How I made my profile:
I used MyWackoSpace.com 's amazing MySpace Editor .
I was born in Indiana, went to school at NIU, moved to Memphis in 1989.
I have played with a lot of people, and recorded on some albums with some people. I teach at SBA in Cordova, and have taught at STAX and at U of M. I record a lot of music with my friend Dave Lisik, and play a lot with the awesome Matt Tutor.
