I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm Outlaw Rockabilly Singer-Songwriter with a bit of a Cowboy side to him. Guitarwise, I use a Gretsch Electromatic(tm) that can sound like a chainsaw . . . I like old-school style Lo-Fi Rock N' Roll, so I sound it like that.I also am a rabid fisherman, a hot rod enthusiast, & a poker player whenever there's cards! I also like old cars . . . my favorites being the "General Lee" 1969 Dodge Charger or a 1980 Dodge Monaco "The Bluesmobile", a T-Bucket Ford, 1956 Cadillac or a '60's Chevy Camaro. For motorcycles, I prefer Indians over the Japanese pieces of shit. I also am an actor, mainly at the high school I go to. I own a 12-foot Jon boat unofficially christened the "Black Pearl II" after I saw all three "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. My demo tape'll be up soon . . . so for those looking for "Hard Rockabilly", the album I kept forgetting to get around too, that'll be it until I record with the band. I'm a bit of a history buff, too.This is another way to see me:


You're the City of New Orleans!
While people once associated you with a great experience and good deals, now most just feel sorry for you. It's true that very recent events have left you soaked and devastated, but you still would like people to come visit you anyway. You have promised to revive the inspiration of your name again, but many are skeptical and fear it will cost too much. Avoid lakes, the University of Miami, and people named Katrina. Your favorite day of the week is Tuesday.

Or my Rustic side . . .


You're the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!
Daring, risk-taking, and just the slightest bit dangerous, you have a bold sense of adventure. Unfortunately, you don't really get an opportunity to pursue real adventure, so you have to settle for the depths of your imagination. It's a lively imagination, and one that captivates countless people around you, but sometimes they tire of waiting for you. On occasion, you've been known to say "Matterhorn Shmatterhorn".

I guess this is why I'm kinda a pirate at heart
.. You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow. Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who loves good Cajun Cookin', loud music, fast cars & life in general! If I had the chance, I would've loved to meet Link Wray, Johnny Cash or Carl Perkins. They all had a bit of a push on me becoming a singer/songwriter/Rockabilly Picker. That and Ed "Rat Fink" Roth, an awesome tattoo artist and hot rod paint schemeist (if that's a word).

I got a new guitar two days ago. It's a jet-black Gretsch hollow-body with a Bigsby Vibrato and a sweet sound! I hope with this I'll do my heroes proud.
