My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Musicians with deep pockets and an unfulfilled desire to recreate Sgt. Peppers Lonly Hearts Club Band. Bands with cute girlfriends. Record company scumbags who want to record on the cheap and pocket the loose change. Punk rockers, poppers, rockers, ska people, metal types, experimentalists, blues, country and folk and anyone who wants to make a great record. We can do this if we work our asses off.
