Sounds Like
No one really. I'm not the greatest singer or guitar player, but hopefully the stories I tell that have inspired me can inspire someone else.
Record Label
none-my brother hasn't started his indie label yet
Okay.......big updates. As most of you know I was single for awhile.....a short while......On August 29, 2009, I got married. I know what you're all thinking, and yes it was fast. But when you know, you know. I will post some pics on here when I get some time. If you're interested you can check them out in Mary Joneses profile. She's number one on my friend list. Yes Brad, you have been unseated from your top perch. Like I said, I will update more later, but just know that I am the happiest I have ever been in my life:) If you don't know, here are some interesting things about me: I play guitar and sing...someday I'd like to record an album-but just for fun-nothing serious, I have a six year old son and a five year old daughter who are the light of my life. They teach me more every day than I could ever learn through college. They love me in spite of my faults and they still think I am the coolest, smartest, and strongest man in the world. That's what's cool about being a dad. I also love the following ridiculous things-rootbeer, Johnny Cash, and the University of Michigan Wolverines. I am addicted to playing expensive guitars even though I will never be able to afford that $3000 Taylor 810ce or that $5000 custom Langjeans, but boy is it fun to play them. At least I still have my Guild D-4, which in my opinion is still one of the best sounding acoustics I have ever played. I am learning how to write songs..."Better Way" just kind of came to me....hadn't happened before and it hasn't happened since. I'm hoping it does though. I have some other songs I'm working on....they just all suck. Someday I'll figure this songwriting thing out. Anyway that's about it. I would love to find some other people in the Lafayette/Monticello area who would like to get together and jam. Why? Because jamming is fun.
