About Me

a long time ago in a dirty bar... far, far away... i got my start playing in numerous cover bands.... well... a couple of them anyway.... then i became a dj and gave up playing guitar altogether... but then the dj thing got boring and i picked up the acoustic and started writing songs like a bastard... i just couldn't stop... i guess there was a lot to say... so i started a band called lakeshore dr. we played around the kansas city area for a couple of years and then broke up... so now i'm a solo artist... still playing gigs around the kansas city area, for now................................................Man Stroke Woman - Great Comeback!
