About Me

I am Steven Paul ... I write songs ... I record them in my studio ... Sometimes I perform them live ... Sometimes people dance ... I play guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, harmonica ... and sing ... but not all at once, of course ... I don’t dance ...

I’m married ... My wife’s name is Amy ... We have two dogs ... Mr Bungle (a rottweiler-chow mix mutt) and Weezer Van Halen (a boston terrier) ... We live near Tulsa Oklahoma ... We watch a lot of movies ... Sometimes we eat bacon ... Sometimes we eat cheese ... I drink a lot of good beer ...

I play in a band ... We don’t have a name yet ... It’s a brand new band ... I play with my friends ... Jeremy, Neil and Karen ... We make lot’s of bad jokes ... and laugh at people ... People are silly ...

Sometimes I record other people ... Sometimes I build or repair computers for even more other people ... Sometimes I build websites for even still more other people ... Sometimes some of those people are the same people ... Sometimes they are not ...

I like to make new friends ... I like it when my friends tell me what they think of the music and videos I post on myspace and my website ... I like it when people like me ... I like to make people laugh ... and dance ... and eat bacon ...

If you ever see that I’m playing somewhere, I’d like it if you’d come ... and laugh ... and dance ... and drink lot’s of good beer ... But you should probably bring your own bacon ...
