i'm a recording engineer, music producer, and guitar player. in years past, i was a pretty good drummer too. i work on album projects, do live recording, and also a good bit of live sound. i have, from time to time, done booking, artist management, marketing, public relations, photography, tour management, promotion, and graphic design centered in the music business.
let's see, what else about me. although i don't really drink that much, i love to go out and socialize. well, i guess sometimes i do drink, maybe just a little. i do like to try new and different things to eat. i'm happy to try any ethnic cuisine that is unfamiliar to me. at the same time, i am a southern boy, and i love southern food. (i think they put sweet ice tea in my baby bottle.) and what most people call a 'meat and three', or 'soul food', is what i used to eat every day growing up. speaking of which, i come from a fairly poor background, and have lived in trailers and/or trailer parks for the better part of my life. and although i am not a redneck anymore, i certainly used to be. but at somepoint, i decided that it wasn't for me and wanted to do something more with my life. even so, you know what they say... "you can take the boy out of the white trash, but you can't take the white trash out of the boy."
but don't get me wrong, i love what i get to do for a living - even though i sometimes get sick of doing it. i love to laugh. i love music. i will eat ice cream on the coldest day of the year. and btw, when it comes to pets. . . I LIKE THE KIND THAT MAKES COFFEE IN THE MORNING! i'm allergic to cats. i was born with a birthmark in the form of a crudely shaped star. being able to whistle very well is something that eludes me. i feel like i was put on this earth to make things sound good. i was also born on a green light, and made for traveling - it's in my blood. i go to see the ballet every chance i get - and so should you. i like big dogs, but no animals for me right now (well, maybe another pet scorpion). i mean, i can barely take care of myself, most of the time. and besides, i like living alone, and being able to do whatever i feel like doing, whenever i feel like doing it. even so, i still get lonely sometimes. matter of fact, i have been alone for most of my life. but it's ok, i like it that way.
oh, and here's a quote that usually comes to mind at least once a day:
"Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."
- Ludwig Wittgenstein
“By all means, let us kill every last lovely dream; let us destroy the only trace of goodness and innocence in this wretched, guilty world!â€
- from ‘the dark music’ by charles beaumont
