You let me know if I lose the dignity

About Me

I've been playing music my whole life. I started out on a double bass drumset when I was a fetus (sorry mom). In spite of my god-given talent for athletics & a full scholarship to Harvard, I decided to pursue a career in music. Now that I'm nearly 40, I realize that I should have stuck with my first passion - ballroom dancing.I work almost every night of the week & no one's is really sure why or how.I'm not really into rap, new metal, or southern rock. I'd actually rather spend a week in David Blane's bubble with prickly heat.I play a wide variety of music as a soloist or with a duo (classic rock country blues etc)The band is R&B based Blues & Rock.I also do a mean Colonel Klink impression.

In with the good, out with the living sh$t

What's so bad about having the "Living Sh$t" scared out of you? If my sh$t was "Living", I'd want it out of me at all costs. Even if it meant eliminating the sh$t through fear. Sh$t shouldn't have a l...
