Praise is what I do...

About Me

I'm a child of the 60's and a Warrior in the new millenium. A proud father of 2 girls (women) 24 & 21. Baby girl (Kameisha) is a Junior at The University of Northern Colorado at Greeley. She's a business and music major and percussion specialist. Oldest daughter (Monica) is a computer science graduate of UC Davis Class of 2006.Some wisdom to ponder:Hearing is one of the body's five sense, but listening is an art... The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do... They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.I have decided to be myself. That way none of you in your infinite wisdom can ever tell me I'm doing it wrong. I decided long ago to trust God only and not man because man will turn against me at the least little sign of trouble all the while having limited knowledge about me. God will stand by me and love me constantly and he knows EVERYTHING about me! I am the executor of all things Bass. A trackmaster and an aficionado of the live performance, I live to funk! I'm about to change my pickups on my bass. Stay tuned! I'm a Peavey 410TX fan, and an Ampeg BA115HPT combo provides the sound I deliver for the LORD at my church, Mt. Gaza Missionary Baptist Church in Compton (Thass Riight!), CA.

My Interests

The FUNK! The Bomb! The "P". Uncut! Un-stepped on! George Clinton was a major influence. I like all music. I played the violin at 9. I'll play it again at 10:30! :)) I also like big majestic kats; panthers and such!

I'd like to meet:

Funky cool people! Responsible, intelligent people. I'm Maxi-cultural, there are no cultural boundaries around me. Musicians, Singers, Trackmasters, Studio Owners and anyone doing a live performance. I have full sound reinforcement for bands, vocalists, public speakers, etc. I'm a bassist and a DJ also. Keeping my circle of friends tight, each add is based on merit. My real friends WILL hear from me frequently; I'll never get that big or popular. If you have the least bit of haughtiness about yourself, stopping here would be ill advised. Living in LA, Southern California is my playpen.
