About Me

I had noticed after having not read my own profile for the better part of a year, there's been lots of changes...some good, some not so good. Still surf, still dont like winter. I now own a Harley, no more renting. Still a better utility player than songwriter, and continue to do both. I am (percussively) for hire. Still dont like country music. Still like fire.

My Interests

Life.

I'd like to meet:

Generally, anyone who doesn't irratate me. Course that's a two way street.

Music:

Pretty broad. You can't go wrong with a good groove, from a Meters and Gap Band, to The Stones n Black Crowes. I'm a pocket player by nature and a groove hound at heart. I'm not much for straight ahead jazz (cept for maybe Grant Green), now Latin Jazz is a whole nother thing. Tito Puente, Mongo Santa Maria,and guys like Poncho Sanchez,again, all about the groove. Now don't get me wrong...Giovanni Hidalgo is a freak of nature, but where's the love in triplets? Besides the infectious groove, I'm all about the deep singer/song writer(see Nick Drake, Elliot Smith or any of the like).

Movies:

OK...since 99% of what the machine churns out SUCKS...um...Scorsese,Coen-n-Farelley brothers,some Oliver Stone flics. Films like Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums, the black comedy sort.

Television:

Daily Show, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Aqua Tn Hngr Force, American Dad
