About Me

I'm a young professional musician who makes a working-man's living in southern Wisconsin. I have been playing professionally for 11 years now.** Visit My Website ** I'm generally just as at home in a T-shirt as in a Tux, but I never quite leave my Levis behind... I love books, music, GOOD scotch, and interesting people.Oh, yes...and my pet peeve is people who leave comments with a HUGE picture that takes up half a screen! A little one is OK, but big ones are just overkill! By all means comment, but if you leave a pic that's too big, or one with no message, it will be deleted. The Wood has spoken...

My Interests

Well, PLAYING MUSIC of course! But after that, reading books, riding my bicycle, video games(old school to the present), playing cards, collecting vinyl records, spending time with close friends and family, and listening to music.

I'd like to meet:

Any Kindred souls with like minds....any one of my heroes listed below (except Steve, Russ and Eddie who are already friends of mine). Oh yeah, and potential groupies, of course....

..
adopt your own virtual pet! ..

Music:

Check out the music player over on the right, but PLEASE NOTE, before I get some nasty feedback on this...the song/file "Madman Across the Water" by Elton John was tagged by it's originator, NOT BY ME. Regrettably, that one was the only good quality file I could find of the song. I hope you enjoy it (and the others) as much as I do.

Movies:

I like concert films...also Comedies, and "chill bump" suspense/thriller/horror films without too much blood and guts, thankyouverymuch. "The Festival Express" was any classic rock fan's dream...

Television:

Not much for television, but I never miss "Scrubs", "Dick Van Dyke" or "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson". Generally, I like comedy, biographies, and classic TV. And PBS, because they show concerts and music documentaries, and lots of other stuff you don't see anywhere else.

Books:

I love to read the Biographies of my favorite musicians. The Harry Potter books were surprisingly good... Mark Twain is also a great fave of mine. I like Classic Lit and "Banned Books". There is a reason the higher-ups tried to ban them...read "1984" by George Orwell. Scary stuff!

Heroes:

In music there's.... Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman, The Byrds, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, John Jorgenson, The Hellecasters, Brad Paisley, John Mayer, Roy Buchanan, Danny Gatton, James Burton, Albert Lee, Vassar Clements, Woody Guthrie, Marty Stuart, Leo Kottke, Eddie Rivers, Steve Doiel, Russ Doiel, too many to mention!In life, theres my mom who taught me (by her example) things I never thought would come in handy until recently, and my grandfather, Elwood Lee Sr., who taught me to play guitar, amongst other "manly" things. I love you both!

My Blog

My New Guitar (Yes, Another One)

I'm checking my sources to make sure that I haven't caused Hell to freeze over...my aunt's husband recently offered me a Fender 60th anniversary AmStand Stratocaster for an obscenely low price. O...

Cobwebs and Strange

I’m sitting at my kitchen table poking away at this laptop and staring at a huge cobweb in the corner of the ceiling... If you want to get all philosophical about it, the fact that I’m act...

Say it ain’t snow...

Yesterday I decided to try out this Playlist.com thing I saw on a few other pages on MySpace, and I’m really glad I did! I found a bunch of my favorite songs on Playlist.com and made a play...
