About Me

Hey there....I'm Jim. Some of you know me, some don't....That's cool...Keep your distance if you must, I can relate to that....Feel free to say hey, I'm all about that too... A little about me, since this is for all intensive purposes, MY page. I've played drums in and around Chicago and the midwest for over ten years, most recently with the bands Speargrass, Terrapin Flyer, Vince Welnick & Friends, Jack Straw, Tom Constanten & Friends, and Jerry Garcia Band keyboardist Melvin Seals. Check out Terrapinflyer.net, Grateful Gary and Friends, Jackstrawband.com, or Grateful Dead member Tom Constanten's web sites to see if I'm close by. I'd love to run into some of you, and yes I WILL have a beer...... Guinness draft preferred... I'm not much for the beer snobbery, so a Miller Light bottle is just as cool...... Myspace Backgrounds
