Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that!

About Me

I'm very random. I play jazzy trumpet. I don't stay in the lines too well. I was The Lindberg Baby and The Third Gunman On The Grassy Knoll. I think there should be a 24 hour tv network devoted to monkeys. I still won't eat my vegetables. I have an almost crippling fear of circus clowns and bees. I can raise my right eyebrow (but not the left one so well) All I really want out of life is a good cup of coffee, the occasional nap and my Blue Note discs.And I'm in a really cool band.
