ABOUT

Contact Info: 402 429-5356

Bass is my main instrument(both fretted and fretless)- Been playing since 1979.
I can fake guitar(rhythm and simple leads) - Off and on since 1979 but have been playing it more since I put together my own (little) home studio several years ago.
Keyboarding skills are barely passable (simple chords) - Ditto
I also play an instrument called a "Bass Banjo"

I attended Berklee College of Music in 1983 - 84 majoring in jazz performance.

My sight reading skills suck though I can find my way around a chord chart. Most of the time I learn by ear.

I've written and recorded some music in my little home studio. At the moment I've been playing in Country/rock/folk but when I compose music it's definitely in the Ambient/progressive vein...go figure. I have most of my stuff out on ReverbNation. If you want to sample some of my tunes go here: ://./fakeparadise
