About Me

In the midst of making a CD..a departure stylistically from the type of music I have been doing over the last few years. Some special guests playing on it. Hopefully I finish the disc this year and hit the street with a live unit in 2007.

My Interests

My 3 favorite things are MY GIRL,MY GEAR and WRITING MUSIC...my girl wishes the gear was not one of them but what can you do....Faves that I have are my API modules.. 512c's, 550A's and good ole 560's. Then of course my Neve 1272's don't suck either, I'd like a pair of 1073's but I digress. I just ordered a Chandler Germanium pre which I'm stoked on putting to use! Also my trusty Summit TLA 100 still gets a bunch of use. I just bought a vintage REV. F 1176! This is my favorite new toy!On the musical instrument side, Orange amps, Les Pauls, Vintage Ludwigs and vintage ampeg SVT'S make me a happy boy!
