About Me

I hate bios that talk about an artist in the 3rd person so here is a 1st person exclusive! -- I play Bass Guitar well enough to have joined 3 bands that happened to be my favorites. (The Goodies, Open Sky Separators, The Warm Gunns)
--I write ALOT of songs some of which are good, a few are great, others are to be continued...
--I play guitar and sing well enough to record a solo album and occasionally handle a live gig all by my little self.
--I hate the phrase "solo album"
Recently bought a house on 1.2 acres so I will be beginning my next record shortly
I’m more inspired by DVD extras than most music I find floating around out there
I smoke too much
I stay friends with my ex-girlfriends
Drummers are over rated until you play live with a drum machine and then you miss your drummer
Don’t fuck with my credit... I’ll kill you!
To the person or persons who dicked with my credit I can’t wait to meet you so I can kill you
To the person or persons who dicked with my credit go fuck yourself I bought a nice house anyway
My favorite movie quote right now is "Can I see some documentation?" Robert Shaw in JAWS reminds me ALOT of my paternal grandfather. Drinking B&B in the wintertime rules! The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is the best movie to come out this year
I wish I could remember my birth but my mother was drugged and there was a tornado outside
The new Open Sky Separators record is coming out this year and it’s the best album I’ve ever been a part of
Bruce Butkovich is the most "giving" friend I’ve ever had although their are quite a few runner ups
The only fights I’ve been in were with hippies. Haha that’s really funny!
It’s a nice day outside so I’m gonna get off this computer
