Here, now, then and there - all at once.

About Me

It all started in Kentucky. Now I'm in Seattle. In between there was Miami and a converted short school bus with one seatbelt. For a long time I kept the cooler that runs off a dc cigarette lighter outlet. Even after years it never smelled right.
Sometimes I don't smell right. Sometimes more than sometimes. But I guess that's not why you're here. Well, fyi I also play keyboards and write music. I'm also learning to sing in tune better because on most songs it sounds better that way.
I will now list below some of the current projects I'm involved with. Please keep in mind that this is different than the name dropping section you can find on another section of myspace page.

Buy the Spirit Tuck CD by following this link...

Anyway, I really have no idea how the whole thing works. I can't say that I'm real excited to learn. However, now I can say I've done it so I can impress the people who care. I guess that should count for something.
Also, I like this video...
And this one...

Great. Now I'm on myspace.

I have no idea how this works. Maybe over the next few months I will figure out how to change the look and invite people to be friends. For those of you who have found this by accident, "Welcome!"
