I'd have to say music is my biggest passion. It's been a part of my life since I was born and I've been playing since I was about 10. I like to read, watch movies, and just hang out with friends. I also enjoy fine wines, obsequious banter, and using words slightly beyond my vocabulary level (see: obsequious)...
I want to meet anyone who can make me laugh and loves good music as much as I do.

My grandpa, Gene. He's gone deaf, undergone multiple open heart surgeries, and he can still kick my ass at guitar. Oh yeah, as of October 10th of '07 he's 72. Play on, Grandpa...
