I reside in the lovely Atlanta metro area as a pile of rapidly degenerating cell structures, but I don't let that get me down. If fact it makes me smile.
From time to time, I write something pretty using just an electric bass. Sometimes I use effects and looping. Sometimes not. When the mood strikes me, I sing, but mainly words get in the way. Things are funny that way.
I've released three albums now as a soloist. My third album just came out in November of'08. Find out more at...
