About Me

This is not a band, it's just me, a not so lonesome guy who likes to sing and play music. I have no aspirations of making it big. I never believed that I had the ability to make music or write songs, as I was not born with the 'musical gene' and dance like a Muppet. Many of my songs have a melancholy theme and sound. Don't get me wrong I'm not always on a downer. There are many things that I enjoy and on the whole I have a positive outlook on life. I just don't believe that happy people with perfect lives make good music. I would like to write some songs that people can dance to but not techno.I hate the man and would love to stick it to him before I'm gone. My inspiration comes from the lonely world around me, people who wind me up, like all the yes men of this world and some happy stuff like nature and the wild woods. I love to play my guitar outdoors surrounded by nature, and would love to live on a mountain and run naked through the fields.If all this has not put you off adding me to your friends then please do. It would be lovely to hear from you. If you are in a band and want to be added at least send me a message or something. I will only add you if I like your music. I do not send friend requests to any Tom, Dick or Harriett just to whore out my music. This kind of behavior is wrong and gives us musical types a bad name so stop it!Thanks for listening to my songs and even if they have only made you laugh at least that's something.src="http://www.myspacesupport.com/images/button.g if" border="0" alt="MySpace Layouts" /
