Sax Murderer

Abducted by the noise

About Me

"I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I aint pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to"

I play the sax, badly! No honestly, if you'd heard me you'd agree. I'm a bit of a music fanatic. Mostly rock/metal/punk kinda' stuff but if someone's playing the guitar I'll listen and if there's also a sax I'm hooked. I live for tunes, if you know of an unsigned/unknown band with a tune or two you can email me a plug for them, I want to hear whats going on 'out there' not what the industry's pushing.

My Interests

Give me a rock an' roll band with a mean an' dirty blues guitar!
Outside of music? Wide open spaces where the only things I can see and hear are natural. One of the joys of living in Scotland is that there are such places and if your lucky you're the only person there.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who sees their photo in here. Where are you now? And if your photos not here but you feel inclined to say hello, please do.
The photos didn't get any better over the years and the current camera is miles better that the one I used back then...
