About Me


pretty much-retired, aging ex-punk-slacker, now millitant captialist/survivalist.i used to play bass in ct. based punk band ELVIS MCMAN, but that seems finished. latest music project are the SILVER TONGUE DEVILS, featuring an "all-star" ct. punk line-up. stay tuned... sometimes people ask me which instrument is the bass, and i must inform them that it's the "guitar with only 4 strings." on that note, i wish i had a custom 3 string bass, 'cause i still can't figure out that skinny string. i have a good amount of tattoos and would like more. i promise never to post a "contribute to my tattoo fund" bulletin, 'cause that's just weak. i enjoy the simple things in life;beer, whiskey, and more beer. some people say i drink too much. what!? would they prefer i shoot dope!!??Your results:
