WORLD PEACE VIA A BULLET IN OUR GOV'TS HEAD

About Me

Well, it's kinda like this:I am a musician... I play in this band...
More about me you ask?? I'm pretty laid-back and easy going. I love to travel and be on the road. I enjoy partying. Music - listening and creating is the center of my universe.
Not satisfied? Still want more? Ok...
Elvis Presley changed my life! I hate stupid people. (i.e. - George W. Bush), I don't HATE much...just on stupids! I enjoy a good laugh. I collect vintage guitars. I have an affinity for dark beer/pale ales, etc. Sometimes I tend to stay awake for days...sleep can be a REAL waste of time AT times. I like to paint pictures with melodies and music - songs, if you will. I can be a bit of a sarcastic ass at times. Ok...MOST of the time. I joke around too much, though serious when I need to be. I don't shock or offend easily. Bourbon loves to have me drink it, Blended Whiskey also seems to be quite fond of me as well.
Music is the savior of my soul and root of most of my evil!
I have the privilege of doing all things that I love for a living: write music, playing in a rock n' roll band, buying, selling, trading music instruments, drinking and spending time with the greatest girlfriend in the world, Kristin. I also do booking for various bars/clubs in Nashville.

My Interests

Artistic Expression, Listening, writing and creating music, films, vintage guitars, Bass Ale, Flying Dog Ale, Camel cigarettes, bourbon, bars, clubs, live music, recording studios, music production, traveling, being on the road, being inspired. Democracy...for the most part, evil jokes, the occasional red wine, comedy, art, sleep, not-sleep, weirdos, being entertained, joking around with people who can't take jokes. Watching "smart people" do stupid things and the stupids do "smart" things. America...NOT-George-W-Bush.

I'd like to meet:
