   About Chris Burke
Chris Burke plays keys (piano/organ), bass, guitar, accordion, tuba, and some other weird things. He is into writing and recording music in a range of styles. Seeing as I am, in fact, Chris Burke, I will hereby stop referring to myself in the third person, and assume the first. I mainly run around with the Geoff Hartwell Band, and the Messengers. I also get to work with Rich Kelly, Petey Hop, Eric Haight, Shane Kirsch, John Federico, Marc Beladino, Space Cabbage, et al. I am currently involved in a couple of original projects, the fruits of which I hope to share w/ anyone who cares to listen. I am sort of allergic to chocolate. The thing is, I can eat a Snickers bar with no problems, but if I have real dark chocolate, or chocolate cake with fudge or anything, I get a headache. Sometimes I even get nauseous and vomit. ..>

I'm bummed I missed the house set last night which is always the highlite for me at your jam. Especially so since you all played In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. I was busy drinking beer and, at the same time, trying to learn some tunes. Probably not the most effective woodshedding technique. Cognitive and musical ability continued downhill at an alarming rate as my evening progressed but I still, as always, had fun Tuesday night at Jackson & Wheeler with GHB. I just wish I had a clearer memory of the evening. I think.
