Relatively youthful white-collar oldhead who needs music to not be miserable.
Like John Entwhistle, my first instrument was French horn. Never appreciated my 8 years on the horn til I picked up the bass.

Influences
Bassists: Eben D'Amico's work in Saves the Day days is probably #1 overall. Definitely a fan of Mike Dirnt and Carlos Dengler but I'd rather play with my fingers when I can. And Eric Judy's vibe with Jeremiah Green (rip) was tough to beat.
Random Bands: Drug Church, Model/Actriz, the Lawrence Arms, Iron Chic, Can, the Police, and I wish WU LYF somehow managed to keep going and not disappoint.
Things I practice a lot: "He Called Me Baby" by Candi Staton, It's My Life (Talk Talk version), tieduprightnow by Parcels (maybe someday I can nail every last note) and of course Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven by Saves the Day.
