About Me

I fix guitars and teach for the Renton School Dist. for a living. I compose and record music and vocals in THE DOUBLE CROSS COMMITTEE. I play rhythm guitar in LATE SEPTEMBER DOGS. I played guitar for seven years in a band called LOS BURBANKS. I toured the U.S. enough for me to understand what this fine country of ours has to offer. But damn, will she wear you out. I can also be found associating with musical outlaws like NOWEAR FAST(bass), QUEEG 500(vox, guitar with Tony from Uncle Pooch), DESPERADOS ON THE HIGH FRONTIER(guitar, with Ryan from Blame It On The Girl), and THE MILES BENNETT DYSON EXPERIENCE(all me).Although I do love people very much, I seem to enthusiastically embrace a view of humanity reenforced by George A. Romero, Sam Peckinpah, Wes Craven and Robert E. Howard. Does that make me misanthropic, illiterate, or just a scumbag?I hope the afterlife is me sitting by a campfire on the bank of a river for all eterinity. I hope I get there after being shot in the back at the age of 82 in Hildago del Parral.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Rory Gallager.

Trying to take the piss out of us sissy-mary artsy-fartsy types

On the nature of creativity and attempts to redirect it to specific ends:I think those of us that consider ourselves "creative people" are labouring under a delusion. It's a delusion that is very sed...

Thoughts and observations on drinkin

 I drink A LOT these days and it does inhibit some personal growth I think.  Getting really drunk tends to just bring up the last thing/person you felt strongly about and make you drudge up ...
