Women Dancing = $$$$$$$ THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

About Me

Well for those of you who Don't know "Take 17" is a Beatles Reference. ((go figure)) When I first started Booking myself I got a gig at one of my local area Bars. The Club owner in his Infinate of wisdom decided he was going to run an ad in the paper. I did not want my ex-wife to know about it ((obvously because of support issues)) so I had to come up with a name.In one of my Beatles books some one wrote that the version of "Love Me Do" they decided on was the 17th Take. So when you hear the song "Love Me Do" that was Take 17!I believe in the power of positive thinking!!!!!!! I have ALWAYS had a CREATIVE mind and I DIG being around OTHER CREATIVE PEOPLE!!!!!!!SO…….Here's the Deal....... You'll NEVER see my face on the cover of Guitar Player Magazine but....... I SING MY ASS OFF!!!!!!! It's All about Good Music and a Good Time I'm doing mostly Accoustic Interpretation of Classic ROCK I Also may Throw in a Few Origianls I picked good tunes. Some are my Favorites, Some are my Listerns Favorites. I also have a few off Beat numbers in there. I would like to Play more music from the last ten years but I can't think of any good tune :(I am a Bassist by trade, I have been everyones Bass player and I have been in a lot of bands. Some Good, Some I was Proud to be in. Some not so Good. Some I WON'T ADMITT TO! But I have Paid my Dues, Earned my Apprenticeship, and now I'M the Boss. I Hope you enjoy what I do and Have a GOOD TIME!!!
