SEEKING

ABOUT

Started out as "Sound-man Bill" and then started playing bass. Found a drummer that I "clicked with" while he was going to college who let me fool around on his kit.
After aforementioned drummer graduated to "real life", basically became a hired gun.
Over the years have learned to play 'passable' guitar, but stick mostly to bass since you don't have to constantly trim fingernails.

Influences

It seemed prudent to check "Other" as a music genre as I've dabbled in a bit of everything. In the 20th Century it was hair bands and grunge. Filling in at a few weddings has been everything from classical to polka.
