About Me

My initial reaction to MySpace was that it's for people younger than me. I therefore decided that if I wanted to feel younger I should get a MySpace page.This being MySpace, it seems obligatory to mention that I used to be in a band. We were called Juke, were based in Berkeley, California, and had a record on Lookout! in 1992. We were most active between 1989 and 1996, but stuff still happens every now and then. Our nascent web page is:www.myspace.com/juke1989
