About Me

I also have an account with MyGen.co.uk, where I have Custom Made Contact Tables that I created. (The Bangles, Ohio State and Cleveland Browns among others.)
I'm Just a Midwestern Boy (Of Irish, English, Scot, Mexican & Comanche Liniage.) from Ohio who grew up on Football, British Humor, and the old AOR (Album Oriented Rock) Radio Format (Now commonly refered to as Classic Rock.) I will also admit that I'm a little shy at times.
My musical tastes are varied, (Look at the Friends. The Bangles, Stan Getz, The Cowsills, Motorhead, The Who, Alice Cooper & Rob Zombie mixed together. NOW THAT'S AN ECLECTIC MIX. I'm not into Astrology but I have been told that I'm a classic Libra.) At heart I'm a Hard Rock/Southern Rock/Metal Guy.

I'm FINALLY back in the Columbus/Central Ohio Area after living in Tucumcari, New Mexico (My mom's birthplace.) for almost five years.
As you can see, I am also a football fan and it's obvious who my two favorite teams are: The Cleveland Browns & Ohio State. (I'm a season ticket holder in "The Dawg Pound" with the Browns.)
I am also a huge Racing Fan (Autos & Motorcycles.) and a classic car & motorcycle fan. (I always watch the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auctions on Speed.)
I also like vintage guitars the same way I do cars & motorcycles.
