I'm not barred, or dangerous to know. So they say.

About Me

MySpace Trains MySpace Smiley Signs Dolls Generator Ascii Converter Dancing LinesA short film that shows what happens when I let Tom and Jerry stand in for me at the Gallery.Hi. If you don't know me then let me introduce myself as a piano player with a bunch of songs. I'm basically trying to showcase my songs to singers, artists and anyone else that would like my music.I suppose I'm a bit like a combination of Bacharach and Angus (from AC/DC).I maybe need to word that last sentence a bit better but in the mean time check out my new website alisongs.com.
