I love Music and Technology....I've been listening, collecting, and playing music my whole life. I've always been surrounded by it..so its not like I just woke up one day and said, "I wanna be a Rockstar". I love that one scene in the movie WALK THE LINE where the young Johnny Cash and band auditions for Sam Phillips, that to me is what music is all about. Its also no coincidence that Sam Phillips names his label..Sun Records..because a song can be like a sunrise or sunset. Oh yeah, lets get to that Technology thing...to me computers are just a tool to make Music..I have to admit to being a bit of a Mac Geek too!! I don't use stompboxes, vintage keyboards or amps. Its real easy just to simulate all that stuff with software...but..I have to say nothing beats playing music in real time..there is no substitute for that!!!I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Band Members: Tom Grissom
Influences: Anything and Everything...the Good, Bad, and Ugly...not just Music listened to..but..a trip to the Art Gallery..a Small Theater Play..TV Sitcom..or maybe just a stroll by the ocean. Sure it sounds silly..but..its true. Although, I would have to say that a 49cent used tape Michael Stearns LYRA SOUND CONSTELLATION changed how I thought of music..i've spent many nights relaxing with just that tape and headphones.

Taking a Helicopter Ride....

No, not a Real Helicopter Ride. But, in the sense of seeing yourself and life in the perspective of a 3rd person. I always wondered why many famous people talked about themselves in the 3rd person..no...
