Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.

About Me

I'm glad that I've met several musicians to share my passion with since moving to the Cincy area - looking forward to getting out there and ticklin' some eardrums and making people move!
I have shifted focus a bit with the acquisition of my first upright bass. It really is a completely different instrument than the electric bass. I'm having a blast learning how to make it sing - the folks at the Bass Cellar here in Cincinnati helped get it sounding good. I am lucky to have found my buddies Darby and Jeff, and we've played a few gigs as The Woodpickers. A few videos can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/user/troppen

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Everyone could use more friends, right? I'd like to meet good folks with similar interests around northern Cincinnati, since I'm new to the area. I'm always up for playing music with new people to see what kind of a sound we can create.
I'd also like to meet Norah Jones, George Porter, Jr., Dr. Andrew Weil, Duff Goldman (the Ace of Cakes guy), Christopher Guest, Barack Obama, Trey Anastasio, George Martin, Booker T. Jones (to ask him why he wasn't in Blues Brothers), Leon Redbone (to try to get his real story), and Joel Salatin (the fascinating grass farmer - everyone read An Omnivore's Dilemma).In the afterlife... My grandpa who died just before I was born, Jim Henson, Walt Whitman, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson (rolling over in his grave, I'm sure).
