About Me

Now that Cruel Moon is on an extended hiatus, thought I would convert this to my own my space account. The Cruel Moon website is still accessible-and if you would like to visit the site there is still audio files there with more of my playing and the vocals of my second favorite singer ( right after Waylon ), Dee Foster. As well as a great rhythm section composed of Chas Egy on bass and vocals and the formidable drums of Tom Davis.I have posted a collection of instrumental ideas that I recorded on my computer. Basically demos. To Kill a Memory is a song I co-wrote with long time friend Jack Leaver, and he is the one singing this disturbing little number. So, there is one vocal tune on here as well.I play pretty much everything on these demos, including a bit of banjo, bass (arrggh, wish I was a better bass player ), a cheapy nylon string, accoustic guitar and of course electric guitar. The exception being Jack on accoustic guitar on To Kill a Memory and Bruce Centers playing drums on that track as well. Wish I could get a real drummer for the other songs as well...Feel free to send me your comments and suggestions.My current band is called the Radiators, check it out were on MySpace.Added a new song, one that Dee wrote and sings. That's her playing the accoustic guitar. Jack on snare, me on bass, electric guitar and shakers. I think the shakers really make it happen....
