About Me

12/05/07 - My MySpace (and Facebook) access is blocked off now at work and at home, so I'll only be able to get in touch with folks periodically. Sorry.Older news: Okay, things have changed. I have joined a kickass band called Merzah. We hail from the back woods of South Carolina and we'll be blowing up soon, so check out the MySpace page if you haven't already. Roughly speaking, we play progressive death metal, but I don't know if that really covers our full range, you'll have to listen to it to figure it out.Anyway, what you see on this page is a sampling of my solo work. "Pictures and Impressions" and "The Old Man" are rather old (from 2000) and the quality isn't that great, but whatever --enjoy them if you like them. "Goin' Back" is much newer and is fairly representative of what I was writing before I joined Merzah. I made a Christmas 2006 album, some of which sounds pretty good, which I hope to upload fairly soon.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 22/07/2006
Band Members: This is going to be my main page --I see no reason to have a separate music page. Sorry to all the metalheads who don't want to hear the soft stuff or to anyone who is offended by the poor quality of the recordings.I have dabbled in many different instruments, including the piano, trombone, violin, trumpet, french horn, xylophone, classical/choir singing, and of course the guitar. I am currently playing keys and guitar and singing backup vocals in Merzah.
Type of Label: Major
