About Me

I know the meaning of life.
The meaning of life is simply to live.
For me, living includes making films, playing bass, and more recently, guitar. I also spend an ungodly amount of $$$ traveling to see good music in person.
And I snowboard.
I think thats everything there is to know about me

If you want to be my friend, you gotta send me a message. I'll probably add ya, I'm just tired of all the spam "add me's" I'm getting.

My Interests

Film.
Music.
Snowboarding.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet a lot of sidemen. JThey're the rock stars to me. I FINALLY got to meet Tony Garnier in May! He'll never know how much that meant to me haha

Also, "the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn."

Music:

Right now, I'm on a huge Texas blues/electric blues kick, but I listen to anything good. Favorite band right now is probably 3-D Blues Band, cant seem to get enough of them lately.

I'm also into anybody who can play a real mean Thunderbird! haha (which automatically excludes ZZ Top)

Movies:

Just make it real, man.

Television:

I dont really watch TV.

Books:

If its "real", I'll read it. That doesnt mean I dont read fiction, just means I want honesty, like my films and music.

Heroes:

G-d there's a million. Denny Freeman is easily the coolest motherfuckin cat on the planet!
Marty Scorsese made me want to be a director, and Bob Dylan led me into a world where music didnt suck.
Tony Garnier is probably my biggest musical hero.
I should probably mention Stevie Vaughan, Larry Campbell, Will Lee and W. C. Clark. I'll stop there, even though there are many more. You probably dont know who half these folks are. Your loss, I suppose.

Doyle Bramhall is the Man!!!!!

Never in my life would I ever have pictured myself in New Orleans. I have honestly never had the desire to go. Especially to anything called Jazz Fest, since I am far from a Dixieland fan. So in Janua...

Lefties are players too!!!!!!

Say you’re a musician (guitarist or bassist, or other string strummer), and you’re in the market for a new instrument. How would you like it if EVERY single music shop/pawn shop/garage sal...
