A nomadic 23 year old guitarist. Sleep a lot, when not sleeping am Pimpernel Jones' tea boy! In my spare time i defuse bombs (unexploded of course!). I also teach guitar, play in various bands...

My Interests

I am interested in a wide variety of stuff and things, in particular, stuff and things...

I'd like to meet:

Jerry Garcia, but some bastard tells me that he's dead. So I'll settle for Sigorney Weaver twenty years ago (yeah thats right, when she had that hot 80's perm!). Or I'd love to have met Pigpen! Man he sure can sing the blues... Sean Young I would also like to have met (again about 20 years ago). Oh and Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman! (If John Candy and James Belushi were still with us they'd be there too...).

Music:
