Band History:

Music started with me when i was about 12 years old.  i watched my brother play guitar and figured it was cool, since he was the coolest guy i knew!
I noodled around on the guitar until i was about 18.  at that point,  i was asked to be in my brothers band... they needed a bass player.  they asked if i would be interested.  i said yeah, i guess so, and here i am today, still whacking at it!  (thanks Dave, fab, armo, and Ron) if not for you guys,  i would have been a doctor or a lawyer or president of the usa or something like that... i instead fell passionately in love with low notes and have been trying to create them ever since.

i have been blessed to be in so many great bands and have played with so many great musicians in this area.  they have all been a huge part of my musical career. 

They are:
the long alley band
battle axe
back alley
masque
hard time (now) eclectic radio... thanks again mike (fuzzy R.)
Apathetic blues band
the crunge
Five guys named moe
five
and now, One last breath

I've got to admit that every one of these bands, including this one, has told me i play too LOUD... you know what, it's probably true!  that's just me.

But, Can you imagine how boring thunder would be
without the rumble ! ?
