ABOUT

I am a drummer and vocalist with a very diverse taste in music. I love any genre of music that has substance to it and attracts my attention. It could be a Rhythm, A bass line or something as simple as a cow bell (MORE COWBELL) that rings out at a certain time in a song, But a band with a solid foundation, a good rhythmic feel and good vocals always grabs my attention over all other bands. I was a road dog and gun for hire for more than 25 years up until 1995 when I settled down in Memphis, TN. to return to school to get a degree in Computer Science and Computer Information systems, get married and have kids. The music never left me and I never stopped performing and now plan to return full time if the conditions are right. I am only interested in dedicated, professional, musicians. I don't care if your music consists of a 3 chord progression, if you are NOT dedicated enough to make those 3 chords sound the best they can sound by rehearsal, and if you are NOT professional enough to present those 3 chords in front of an audience the way they are rehearsed, then please do NOT waste my time or yours.
