About Me

I take pictures. I dig my wife. I find many people don't really appreciate the music I like. I write. I like auto racing. If you have an Italian scooter that needs repair, I'll fix it. I used to do it for a pack of smokes and a 12 pack, but I quit smoking, so we may need to re-negotiate. I build guitars. I played bass with the Sinatras, Shilohs, Dose, Top Fuel Drag, Guardians of American Morality and Mex Pistols. I haven't played much lately. My grandmother and dad were painters. I paint too, but I need more training and practice. These are links to where I have photo and written stuff:

My Interests

Photography, motor sports, writing, music, guitar building.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone willing to be my guide and guarantor of safe passage while I take a bunch of pictures of my travels through where you live, work and whatever else. Together, we can bridge the gap between the fear of the unknown and the comfort of familiarity. Only then can the fear mongers be stopped. Only then will we be able to replace that fear with well informed contempt. That, or a genuine, considered appreciation for one another, which might just be the path to respectful coexistence, which I think is alright.

Farewell, Brother

Matt Hogan did for my band 20 odd years ago what he had probably done countless times in his life - He checked us out. He dug our scene. He knew people. He got us a gig at the Burro Room with a band I...
