About me:
You can check out my sloppy-ass guitar playing on music pages HERE and HERE.
Playing a little more bass again with I.C. WATERS.
Friends are fun. Friends don't let friends drive drunk. A true friend always tells you when you have spinach in your teeth. "Friends" was a good show, but all good things must come to an end, and that show is SO over.
"If you hit a wrong note, then make it right by what you play afterwards." - Joe Pass / Jazz Guitar
Who I'd like to meet: My great-great-grandfather, Orrin, who died in the Civil War at the age of 32.
Don Rickles. Betty White. Tim Conway. Jokesters.
Isn't he photogenic? I love taking pictures of him. He used to have a beat-up old Gibson Bluebird, and with that in his hands, some of the earlier pictures I took look like they could have been taken in the 30's or 40's.
Kate, I miss playing with you and Don. Steve was late to invite me to the blues fest thing something about bla bla bla. He is just trying to keep us apart and from breaking the hearts and sould of other bands and wanna bees. Hope all is well and wish Don the belated birthday wishes I have for him.
In the smoldering tedium of pointless speculation so eruditely spewn forth, no doubt inspired by countless hours of futile reckoning on the gravity of things long considered to be acceptable social inequeties and imbalances, I may have forgotten to mention I wanted to try "All In" with an open E tuning...

And 15 years of playing with Danny Vigden has nearly put me in the nut house, haha … just kidding. He has been my best friend and drummer for the past 15 years … and it has been an honor to play with such great and talented musicians such as Danny Vigden, Mark Michaels, Lee Lundy, Candido Delgato, Lenny Bradford, Joe Bellomo, Bruce McGrath, and the list is endless … I thank you all for the wonderful times we had …
