About Me

I think it's impossible to write one of these and not sound self serving, but alas, here we go..... I'm not much different than you, then again I'm nothing like you, find the middle ground....If life was easy, how would you know who your real friends are?Love can be the greatest feeling ever experienced, and a figment of your imagination, all in a 5 second span....Learned my first and greatest lessons as a bass player from long nights at Joe Mac's in Williamstown. I am what I am today because of what you taught me bro.I've tried my damnest to be a good bass player and musician, not the best. not the worst, I always respect my drummer, as much as he or she may disagree, I never did this for glory or chicks, and I sold my soul to the devil and found I enjoyed playing no matter who's songs they were. Currently I can't put My Lakland 5 String down. Working on a new original band with Mario from the Moonseed days called Inertia,as we try to right that which we did wrong. got the studio set up in my house, and Joe D is playing drums, we hope to have the CD done by fall 08. I don't have a ton of friends, but the ones I have know I'm the first call they should make, cause I'm there the quickest. I keep myself grounded, cause the longer your in the clouds, the harder the fall down. I give 110%, and absorb the blow when it doesn't yield the results I want. I love talking anything music and Kevin Smith flicks for hours on end, and I'm gratefull for the people in my life who refuse to let me be a miserable fuck. Music can be a common ground, and I've found it a great way to repair your soul, because you can never truly fill your holes, only try and cover them up.I take pride when I can lay down a tight backline, because the best bass players DON'T get noticed. You'll never see us holdin down a groove, you'll FEEL it.....

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel,Wayne Gretzky,James Jamerson, Jack Bruce, Jesse James,Victor Wooten, Geddy Lee, and that Freud guy, I got issues!!!

taken too young

Adam, my friend, you were taken too soon. you were without a doubt the most talented musician I ever had the chance to play with, and I wish I had more time with you, rest in peace.
