About Me

I'm a lawyer, real estate agent, a guitar player, and I have a family. Mustanghands characterizes my love for rock & roll guitar. I also love classical, jazz and blues guitar. Music is a passion and an outlet. In Raleigh, I played guitar with an 80's band called M80s. As a lawyer, I often work in Washington, D.C. Along with music and family, I enjoy sports and exercise. I'm also a Baltimore Ravens fan and a Washington Wizards fan. My real estate website is www.robertchurchhomes.com. Extended Network Banner made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!

My Interests

Enjoy friends, family, music, sports, etc. Enjoy meeting new people and having a good time. Played guitar in band, and I love to see people express themselves through the arts. ..I also love to waterski:

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who'se open and honest with themselves can be open and honest with me. I have to say that people who are transparent have been the most interesting people I've met--whether in or outside of a church. Learning people's true beliefs, inspiration and fears, has been my most intriguing reward from practicing law. Nowhere else (outside of law) have I found people so honest with themselves, or others, than when they write songs. Myspace is another great place for people to open up and share. And they do, so that's why I like it.Here's a song and video I made for 2008 (check it out):

Music:

U2, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Goo Goo Dolls, The Who, Coldplay, Third Eye Blind. Progressive bands from the past: Led Zepplin, Yes, Genesis, Rush. Enjoy Country and 80's music. Dig the Blues. Eric Clapton (Slowhands) is an inspiration. I love music, and I've played guitar (electric, acoustic & classical) since my teenage years. I've played in church, and I played in a Raleigh bar band called the M80s. Just call me mustanghands...
