My Dear Friend,
To welcome autumn, I've changed the look of my page. Tell me how you like it.

I'll be adding new pictures as the Rocky Mountain leaves turn.

My "myspace" player is loaded with new songs. And I've added a "snocap" store so you can purchase my songs directly from my page.

Please help support my endeavors so I can continue recording songs for you.

Thanks for listening and purchasing my music.

Hello Fellow Band Mates, Friends and Business Associates:

I'm in a National Drum Contest right now representing Dixon Drums. The rules required a two minute video short (see link below) that will be voted on by the public. Think American Idol for drummers. The Dixon team is scoring by 30% technical ability, 30% Originality and 40% Presence (Show). I need a four star or higher rating to get into the final six.

Please search YouTube for "Lou Mars Dixon Drums Contest" and rate me if you like what you see!

Comments are also welcome. The contest started in mid July and I just joined September 18th (ends September 27th) therefore my competitors have a heck of a head start. As a result I quickly need all the positive votes I can get.

Thank you for your support!
To summarize...
step one.

step three.
