Charlie Pantalones

I play the saxophone and teach private sax, clarinet and flute lessons. I also play a little bit'o bass, drums, guitar, and keyboards (not all at once), and can sing in tune most times. I do music clinics at various schools in CT. Right now i'm "officially" in 4 bands, "Otisburg" (i play bass in this one...), "Burt Teague Band" , "6 Piece Nastee" , "Soul Syndicate" . Theres a bunch of other bands that i play with also. Yuh never know where i'll turn up.(keep an eye on the calendar below)
Used to be in an original band called "Adios Pantalones" . We called it quits a few years ago, but still do an occasional "reunion" gig. I like doing recording sessions. Really into trying to get things right. I have a hard time saying, "ehh, it's good enough" if i think it can be better.
Given the choice, I'd prefer a dog to a cat, as long as it's not a little toy dog (I grew up w/big dogs), but i get along w/cats too. Don't like peppers. Don't think broccoli belongs on a pizza, but for some reason ham and pineapple are okay. Like to cook, but bad at the planning ahead part, so i don't end up cooking very often. Like NYC and Boston, but couldn't live there cuz i like being in the boonies. If i can't buy what i'm looking for, i'll make it myself or find something close and modify it, which sometimes is a really bad idea, but it's fun. I know enough about cars and computers to sometimes fix 'em, but also get myself into trouble. Not even close to a metro sexual, but i try be neat. Can't stand the fact that clothing is a status symbol to some people. If it's clean and it fits, yer done. Dropping loads of cash on something simply beacuse, "It's a (insert designer name here)" completely baffles me .....
And there yuh go
