About Me

I've owned at least one fiddle since 1982. It was called a violin for almost 20 years.
Its been spilled with Champagne, beer, wine, cigarettes burns, and never been stolen. I attempt to play it and am payed large sums of money to do so. I have done so willingly and have taken such money from large corporations, record labels, religious groups, other music types, and even a few dead people have payed me to play. Yes, really.
I live and work in Somerville where I randomly relocated from somewhere else. I record other peoples noise here: BlueTone Studio . I was born in CT, and grew up in Nova Scotia which is where I think of as home. I have a weird accent. I like fire. I hate televisions. I like playing sports, but I don't. I cook and eat, but spend more time eating. You can find more tiddlings at this un-updated website: Fiddler.net
I don't like talking on phones, I like meeting people and talking with them. If they are strange that is better. If they are old that is better. If they are both old and strange I fit in.
I'm currently debating whether I am Waldorf or Statler. I always wanted to be Gonzo.
