It's NOT hard to find good people!

About Me



I love music. I consider myself a student of it. I believe it's one of the few things that truly comes from within the soul. I'm not out here to be pretty. I'm not out to sell products. I'm not here to be normal. I'm here to be honest. Sometimes, people don't want honesty . . . I don't care. Go somewhere else, if you want someone to tell you what you want to hear, because here you'll get it straight. My stuff will go from crazy to lazy to hazy to mad to sad to manic to satanic to angelic to racy to spacy and beyond! You know why? Because it's honest, dummy!

So Long Hud

My stepfather passed away, yesterday morning.  He was a true gentleman, and he was very good to my mom and me.  His type is becoming harder and harder to find, these days.  When a woman...

Actor/Waiter

I had a visit with an old friend, last night.  We always have interesting conversations and good times.  We were catching up and talking about this person and that person.  One person (...

I See Corn Flakes

I was just sitting out on the porch, smoking and thinking.  Thinking about my invisible band.  We were good.  Well, we had that potential.  Now I find myself moving to a new place,...

Relocation

Well folks, it seems that my band's gone bust.  It got me to thinking, which is always an interesting proposition in itself.  I started to look out the window and sized up the opportunites i...

Heres to Dr. Johnny Fever

I find myself watching a lot of WKRP in Cincinnati, as of late.  It's one of my favorite all-time shows.  Makes me feel like a kid, if you can understand that.  As a kid, I'd watch it a...

Being a Night Owls not so bad . . . is it?

Well, I've always considered myself a "night owl", but I think I'm entering the realm of the ridiculous.  Every morning I see the sun rise, and I find it difficult to sleep with the sun ...

Ahhh . . . Lovely Frustration

I've felt like an annoyance, as of late, to my bandmates.  Probably because they've no way of answering their phones, or using their phones.  Unfortunately, it isn't because I've broken thei...

Tony Robbins

I woke up today, feeling highly motivated.  Everything I did had a forward purpose.  My conversations (phone and/or in person) were concise and to the point, quick to point out the beating a...

Bob Villa: Extreme Makeover

My body is hurting.  There's no simpler way to put this.  I've spent this past week doing home improvements on my bandmates' respective homes.  I'm doing this, to clear their minds up f...

(Not My) Home Improvement

You know, I'll do just about anything for this music "thing".  Chew on a dog, you say?  Sure.  But sometimes, you look at what you're doing, and you have to wonder.  My new band's...
