About Me

IT professional and local musician. I wish for three things in these crafts: (a) never-ending improvement to the benefit of myself and those around me, (b) the ability to enjoy the process and not take myself too seriously, (c) the resolve not to let people lacking -a- and -b- get to me.Also, married quite a while and have 3 step-kids as well; may they pass me up in height and intelligence, but not too soon.

My Interests

yes

I'd like to meet:

You, if you're genuine.

Music:

Current bands
The Tipplers (bass/vox)
The Kevin Fox Band (keys/guitar/vox)
Daughters and Sons (keys/vox)

Prior bands
The Family Trucksters (bass/vox)
Four Ohms (bass/vox)
Soulever (keys/vox)
Non-Prophet (bass/vox)
Middle Earth (guitar/bass/vox)
Cats Walking Backwards (bass/vox)

Check out some of my work on Alex Hall 's songs from CWB and Four Ohms.

Influences: All things classic.

Movies:

I like to rent movies and forget to return them. Or at least whomever gave Blockbuster my wife's cell phone number on their account does.

Television:

Nope, never been on television. I own a few, though. (I've been on radio a few times, does that count? :)

Books:

Not a casual reader. Not a serious reader, either. I promise I do know how to read, but that's where it ends.

Heroes:

They know who they are.

You don’t read about many pessimists in history books.
