My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/23/2004
Band Website: glenk.org
Band Members: me.

i'm not a band. i'm not in a band. i'm a bassist. i work for artists. they pay me to play their music. sometimes artists ask me to refer other musicians they can hire to create the mystique of a band.

Influences: just so there's no misunderstanding,
with the exception of family, church and work,
i do not accept friend requests from single girls.

my wife rocks!

gear: i'm crazy about my westone es2 in-ear musician monitors,
my 1977 fender jazz bass and my ashdown combo amp.
also... tech21's sansamp bass driver d.i. changed my life.
someday i'll own a huge ampeg svt but i'll need to have a car big enough to transport it.

Sounds Like: current gigs:
mark schultz.
daniel kirkley.
geoff moore.
beth cayhall.

It's a girl!

Lucy was born at 4:23. 7 lbs, 5 oz. 20.5 in. Brown hair. She's so good natured (today). When the dr. gave her to her momma for the first time I'm sure I saw her smile.
