    .. .. Photobucket Love to ride my Harley (even in the cold weather since I have heated clothes!) I play bass for FADE TO BLUES (www.fadetoblues.org and the #1 friend on my page), sub on bass sometimes with Gary Schwartz of THE BLUE RAYS, Deborah Norah and Jason Jones of the STATELINE BLUES BAND, and with THE BADCATZ. I hit many different open jams all the time, support live music, go out to eat great food and Photobucket with friends, meet new people, read, sleep in when I can...It's all good!

  • Music

    RUSH on TV on The Colbert Report: Photobucket My 1977 Alembic is my main axe now! The SOUND! my G&L 1000 My 1981 G&L 1000 Photobucket Serial number 975352. Well, I sold it to the Guitar Hanger. It deserves to be played and not stashed in my closet. I miss it but somebody will be cranking on it soon and that makes me feel better! I bought this Les Paul used from Alex Musical Instruments, NYC in 1975. I wonder who's playing my (actually, now it's "their"!) Rickenbacker, and my P-Bass that I made fretless, and my old Hagstrom and what music is being created with them? I do believe in Karma when it comes to instruments and good tools.
    Photobucket James Jamerson is no longer standing in the shadows...
    .. Photobucket Photobucket I miss you Duane and Berry. Live at the Fillmore, baby!!! Photobucket She left us WAY too soon! I imagine and hear her voice still singing to us and I become even more at peace with the world. Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket RIP Allen Woody ^ Your playing on "Mule" alone is enough to put you into bass player heaven. Thank You, brother! Photobucket Debbie Davies is the Real Deal! Saw her at the White Mountain Boogie and Blues Festival. She's got a great song about eating, her favorite pastime (SHE said), "crunchin', munchin', let's do luncheon" - lol! UPDATE: caught her act again this time at the Acoustic Cafe in Bridgeport July 19, 2008. Great show! Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Rick Derringer - a "players" player! I saw him jam up close (I'm talkin' 3 feet away) with Jann Hammer at The Lonestar Cafe, NYC around 1980. They served up a smorgasbord of jamming like you wouldn't believe! How lucky was I to be there! Photobucket What a GIFT these people have bestowed upon us. And this is but a tiny sampling of the magic! Hey, look whose jammin' together now! Photobucket Photobucket I love da Blues, Rock, R&B, Funk, Cajun, covers, JAMMING! Maybe writing again someday...Listening to and supporting LIVE MUSIC at all levels is one of the greatest things one can do; and ya get so much back! Recent concerts attended: Buddy Guy, Bela Fleck, Joe Bonamassa, Triple bill with The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker and Charlie Daniels and, just this past March 11, Los Lobos! OMG they PLAY! All I knew about was "Kiko and the Lavender Moon" and "La Bamba". David Hidalgo's voice and guitar improv is simply phenomenal. The sound of that band is impossible to classify. Go see them somewhere, sometime! Been to the White Mountain Boogie and Blues Festival 2 Augusts in a row (Debbie Davies, Tab Benoit, Albert Cummings, Shemekia Copeland, Dwight and Nicole, Ana Popovic, and so many more that I can't think of at the moment.) I would love to see the Allman Bros., Gov't Mule, and Derek Trucks at the Beacon in May if anyone has extra decent seats!

  • Movies

    Photobucket .. Photobucket I played the lead in one movie; you may have seen it. My best line was, "yippie ki A, MF'er"

  • Television

    .. Photobucket I don't have a cable hook-up or an antennae. I have the tube for DVD's only but I haven't even done that in over 2 years. And there's ZERO elitism going on here, folks! If I HAD cable I'd wind up looking like THIS guy because I wouldn't be able to STOP WATCHING! There must have been a TV on and inside with me when I was in the womb. Photobucket

  • Books

    Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket .. Photobucket I read all the time. Mysteries, thrillers, science fiction, biographies and all types of non-fiction. Walter Mosley and Ian Rankin are two of my favorite authors right now. A well acted and entertaining play is always a good thing. I recently saw "August: Osage County" on Broadway; you think YOUR family's dysfunctional?!

  • Heroes

    .. The fact that someone like Tal Wilkenfeld exists may finally cause me to re-examine my disbelief in the existence of a higher power. 21 years old and has scary talent. She's a friend on my page (and hundreds of thousands of others I'm sure) so check her out. Her solo on "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" with Jeff Beck (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIFFRHBCPzA) live at the Crossroads Concert (and EVERYONE'S reaction to it) is magical and is something no music lover should miss! I listen and watch again and again. In fact, even if you are not a music lover, you could not fail to see and hear the HONESTY of that moment. Tal Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld ..Victor Wooten Victor Wooten (above), Norm Abram! (below) Norm Abram Photobucket And, last but not least, all those who can live in the moment!

About me:

.. I'm a genuine, mostly normal guy; kinda like these badasses: Photobucket But I USUALLY behave in a much more gentlemanly manner! This ALWAYS keeps me smiling! Photobucket Photobucket But I'm only human and will at times get a little stressed (esp. when trying to edit this page!!): Photobucket And the magic cure for just about anything that bothers me? Photobucket Yep, that's right, it's my '06 Roadking FLHRC. 13,000 miles of happiness in 2 years which isn't bad for a part-time rider in the Northeast. So many places to go...only so many hours in the day! ..

Who I'd like to meet:

my brother, Andy...and, THIS LADY RIGHT HERE!!! (just where IS she, anyway?) .. Photobucket And then we'd take off and never come back! (alright, just not right away) Photobucket And/or a certain type of game player: Photobucket Puhleeze! Geesh!!! I'm Just KIDDING!! (But, then again, I might not be... Anyway, it's just carpenter humor!) Photobucket AND, girls, musicians, girl musicians, musical girls and other fun, genuine, and somewhat normal women. Love and joy? That's why we're on the planet!

    Mike,

    I did get your invite, but that page didn't have the music. I am on that gig, and we will definitely be jamming. I'm looking forward to seeing you.

    Yes, we did a lot of radio before we were born. In those days, nobody could tell; the technology didn't exist.
    Too bad you won RMAC last year, which means we won't see you at the show!

    I finally took a rest LOL The feral kitty, Miracle, is doing well despite the cold and she actually nuzzles my hand in the morning when I feed her. The dogs are great too. My dad is in the hospital in TN, but we still don't quite know what the problem is. They're still running tests.
