Sounds Like: I write my music w/ a little help from David Lynch and a Go-Go Girl... Watch my good friend, Benno Nelson and I join forces after a brief spat! Perhaps I should give you a prize if you can name the first li'l diddy that Benno and I are playing...

For more lessons from David Lynch, go visit: www.mynameischrisdotson.comI probably sound like The Lift a little bit too...since I am the bass player and a songwriter in the band...Enjoy our vid from our latest cd titled "It Is What It Is."
