I'm happier than you are!

About Me

IF I DON'T KNOW YOU OR YOUR BAND, I WILL NOT ADD YOU.I was a roaming rock star perpetually on tour, although I'm taking time off to finish up some lingering school work. Now that I'm not living in the desert anymore, I'll be out and about ALOT! So.........let's hang, and cause minor trouble! I like to play music, and work well with others. I'm a professional, so let's talk over drinks!

My Interests

music, traveling, DIY-projects, yoga, the arts, reading classic literature, and I'm trying to figure out how to write html.

I'd like to meet:

So - I'm going back to school in Portland, trying to finish up my Master's. This is way important, and I'm not gonna let this one pass me by!Let's face it: there isn't alot to do here in the desert when you don't know many people, so hit me up, and I'll entertain you over drinks! BUT, if you like Disney, enjoy Clear Channel, and listen to the Religious Right, or are otherwise a right-wing, I don't want to meet you. Ever.

Music:

Miles, Clifford, Freddie, Coltrane, Bird, Woody Shaw, Cuong Vu, Dave Douglas, Jim Black, Brad Shepick, Bobby Shew, Dizzy, Seamus Blake, Lan Xang, Blue Mitchell, Tall Jazz, Desmond Dekker, Red Rat, Green Day, Josh Roseman, Groove Collective, Cake, Elliot Smith, Beck, Warsaw Poland Bros, Go Jimmy Go, Either/Orchestra, Tim Jenson, Andrew Hill, Wanye Shorter, Lee Morgan, Eric Aubier, Maurice Andre, Sly & The Family Stone, Groove Juice Special,Deals Gone Bad, Triclops Organ Trio, Bachelors of Science, Roy Hargrove, Liquid Cheese, well......you get the picture....

Movies:

Well...I DIDN'T like "Joe vs. the Volcano". Thats the only movie I walked out of.

Television:

Law & Order reruns for some reason are really, really interesting. Otherwise, Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, and I hate to say it, but its so damn interesting, VH1 reality shows, and whatever is on at the hotel. BUT - I Don't own a TV right now.

Books:

I read ALOT. I enjoy the New York Times as print media most! But, I'll read every newspaper from coast to coast. (Arizona's reporting is sub-standard, though.) Anything by C.Dickens, but not "A Christmas Carol", "The Jungle" - Upton Sinclair, the original prose for vegetarianism, Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales", "Kiss & Tell" - Gene Simmons, "The Bach Reader", Richard Broughtigan, "Breakfast of Champions" - Vonnegut, "The Good Earth" - Pearl S. Buck, "Lies My Teacher Told Me", "A People's History of the United States", "Notes & Tones" - Art Taylor, "Lies, and the Lying Liars who tell them" - Al Franken, "The Innocents Abroad" - Mark Twain, "The World According to Garp"

See all the music entries, plus my fav Olympic swimmers...Pablo Morales, Jenny Thompson and Janet Evans. My Dad, my bass teacher-Glen Moore, and all my trumpet teachers.

Reformatting....

  So many, many times, I wish the computer would just do what I say.  I can't believe that these things can't just do what I tell it to do.  Anybody know the perfect website for me...
