   About VANPELT
My musical "career" has had many incarnations over the past 25 years. Lately, I haven't been able to do much recording anymore, and I haven't played a solo gig in over a year. Luckily I am able to continue to play bass and sing with The Exotic Profiles and in Tom Burris' band Jabbering Trout, both of which are clickable. I'll keep posting demos from the past and changing them every month or three.

Thank you for accepting me as your friend. Now that we are friends, I would like to make a few requests. Could you leave a comment on my page? Might you leave flattering and funny comments on my pictures? Can you teach me html? Could you please comment on each of my blogs and give me the maximum 2 kudos on each? Won’t you please visit my webcam? Can you find me a job? If you’re in a band, could you please send me everything you’ve released on CD? And finally, put me in your “Top 8.” Great to meet you!

Thanks for the add, Bob! Nice songs! Great list of influences, too. Neil Finn is the greatest. Please befriend us at myspace.com/singerscircle. If show gets picked up, you're not too far away to do an in-studio thang at some point!
Cheers,
Melissa
