ABOUT

50 yr old semi-retired Yakima native. Took up playing about 10 years ago and am primarily self-taught. Never been in a band or played much with others. Interested in writing and recording original music, playing other people's songs, endlessly talking about all things music, music production and being a rock and roll star. What I lack in experience I hope to make up for with available time and dedication. I posted a cover I did of Big Indian by the Dandy Warhols as well as an original song I wrote (my first) called Rabbithole. The mixing and production on the songs is . . . to be generous to myself . . . unfinished :).
