-Music. Playing it or listening to it. While not a big fan of most of the newer bands, there are some that I find very good, though most lack any kind of cool image. Hey, I grew up on Kiss, Aerosmith, Queen-stuff like that-REAL bands.
-Planet of the Apes!!!
-Comic books, baby-"Werewolf By Night" Oooooooowwwww....
-Cooking (very relaxing...) I do the season it/taste it method, versus the right way to do it. You should see if it even NEEDS anything first, right?

This is the link for the acoustic shows.
RAP is NOT MUSIC-it SUCKS ASS!! Bands I dig, in no particular order: Kiss, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Little River Band, Eagles, Lit, OLD Aerosmith (pre-Done With Mirrors-the beginning of the end), G 'n R (NOT this new contraption. They may be a fine band, but please, CHANGE THE NAME! (Axl is not G 'n R by himself), Angel, Kix, Van Halen, Amy Grant, Face Dancer, Backstreet Boys (that's NOT a typo!), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Cheap Trick, The Osmonds, Alice Cooper, Beach Boys (Brian Wilson's a genius-just accept it!), and of course, RICK (ROCK!!!) SPRINGFIELD. If you want to see a ROCKIN'drummer, search out Jason Heiser, who's currently playing with "Forty Acres" in the Baltimore area.
Guitarist that peak my interest: Jeff Adams(Face Dancer), Tim Pierce(Rick Springfield), Ace Frehley, Edward Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Neil Geraldo(Pat Benatar), Brian May, Jerry McPherson(Amy Grant), Keith Scott(Bryan Adams), Brian Setzer, Ronnie Garvin(Stranger), Frankie Sullivan(Survivor)...I may amend this time and again as my life developes...

It's actually embarrassing to say that I've no fave books to speak of. I read a lot, but it's Guitar/Music mags, and "factoid books"-most of those "factoids" tend to leave my skull area about 2 and a half minutes after I read them...hmmmm. I like obscure bits of info:
-What is the Mattel toy "Barbie"s FULL name?
-What is Betty, from the Flintstones maiden name?
About me: Greetings! I'm proud to announce the release of my current band, "GOODBYE THRILL"! Great pop/rock tunes abound with our debut release on Kivel Records. Aren't you supposed to be able to sing along with the tunes you love? That's where we come in. No more looking at your shoes while your onstage. No miserable life to contemplate ending. No screaming words you can't understand. No more growling vocals that sound like a bad case of indigestion. Just good melodies, big hooks, guitar solos, and aural loviness coming at you.
If you are a racist, DON'T bother reading any further as we have nothing in common. I review all friend requests, so if I see anything along that line in your profile...you will be DENIED! My best (male) friend is Chris "CIS" Humbertson-we grew up together, and he put up with all my crap so he deserves the crown. My best friend for LIFE is my wifey, Sherry. Yep, we met at one of my shows and 100% does the credit go to her for getting and keeping things moving forward in our relationship. I have a beautiful daughter, McKayleigh, who's a sunbeam in my life whenever she's around (heck-she doesn't even NEED to be around to have that effect on me!). I've been playing music/guitar for quite a while now, and making a living at it, living in my home state of Maryland, Pennsylvania, or my home away from home, California. From the years 1996-2006, I played with former 80's rockers, Steve Whiteman and later, Jimmy Chalfant, the singer and drummer from "KIX", in the band "Funny Money". Perhaps you've heard of the KIX tunes: "Don't Close Your Eyes", "Midnite Dynamite", "Blow My Fuse", "Cool Kids"? They had lots of great stuff, to say the least.I left the FM band looking to persue some other musical dreams/avenues. I'll post things when they become "sure things"-as much as that can ever really be in this biz!
-I love animals...music...family...and the sun beating down on my face, whether it's summer or winter.
-Can't we all just sing a song?
-Did you ever notice how easy it is to give advice to others, but sooooo hard to follow your own words of wisdom?
-Which would you rather be: A dumbass or a smartass-where's the line blur?
If you share any interest in the things mentioned above, please, feel free to drop me a line. Peace-D!C!

Goodbye Thrill in Indy..."Don't Stop Believin"
Who I'd like to meet: I'd love to meet Edward Van Halen, providing that I'd have a couple of minutes to throw some heavy praising his way. Hmmm, there's also Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. While living in Los Angeles, I've met most of the people I admire, with Paul Stanley being the pinnacle of that (we chatted for about 25 minutes or so-amazing!). I played with Sebastian Bach for a brief period, and since I'd rocked it for 10 years with Steve Whiteman, I feel lucky to have worked with some of the BEST frontmen in the biz.
Of course, who would not want to meet Jesus?
I do plan on meeting my deceased dog, "Baby" on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
