Some Of My Favorite Quotes

"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit."

"Any day above ground is a good day."

My Music Equipment

Peavey Millennium BXP Bass Guitar
Gallien-Krueger Backline 350 Bass Amp
DigiTech BP200 Bass Processor - Seldom Used

Boss BR-864 8-Track Digital Recorder

I also have a Washburn XB100 Bass Guitar, a Squier Stratocaster Guitar and an 80's era CB700 drumset with Sabian B8 cymbals! I once had a Squier Bass Guitar until I loaned it to a supposed friend and he pawned it to score a hit. Asshole.

InfluencesKISS, Motley Crue, Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains

My College Graduation

On December 9, 2006, I graduated from the University of Southern Indiana with a Bachelor's in Computer Information Systems.


Almost Human - Live in Owensboro, KY - August 2004

This is actually a Vegas Radio show. Ed was kind enough to let me get onstage and play. This isn't very bassy and that sucks. This is still pretty cool for me.

   About Big Al

I grew up in Uniontown, KY and graduated from Union County High School in 1988. That summer, I joined the U.S. Air Force, where I learned my computer skills. In 1995, I returned to civilian life and started my career as (what felt like) a perpetual college student, taking two night classes per semester. On December 9, 2006, I graduated from the University of Southern Indiana with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems.

I have been employed full-time with the Ohio Township Public Library System in Newburgh & Chandler, IN since July 16, 1997. I have been married since February 14, 1994 and have one son.

On March 25, 2003, I co-founded the band Chowder Monkey with my friend Ron Mattingly. Ron also happens to be married to my cousin Tammy. In 2004, I came up with the idea to release a KISS tribute CD called Covered With Kisses - An Evansville Tribute To KISS that features some of the best bands in Evansville. The CD was released in time for the 2004 Evansville KISS Expo. That same year, I also founded Dizzyhead Music Group, a music distribution and promotion company. I hope some day to turn that company into a record label.

In early 2007, I started writing songs for a solo album called Half Fast. During this process, I wrote a couple songs that don't necessarily lend themselves to a serious album so I'll likely also work on a second less serious album called Songs From The Gutter. A couple songs have been recorded and will be posted in the myspace music player once I get the instrument and vocal levels adjusted to my liking.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to visit. I do appreciate it.
