About me: I am the keyboard player and saxophonist in a kick-ass country band called Yankeeville in the Detroit area. Also I do alot of free-lance work on saxophone with alot of local rock, blues and jazz groups and also recording sessions. I used to play with a famous band called Benny and the Jets. Some groups that we had opened up for were Eddie Money, Confederate Railroad, Mountain, Rare Earth, Mitch Rider, Kentucky Headhunters, Big brother and the Holding Company. With other groups, I have opened up for the OJ's and Morris Day and Time. I do also play bass guitar (a little bit of upright bass too) and a bit of guitar and drums as well. Basically you could call me a "Music Geek" as some would say...he he he!!!!!

Errr...i just get easily distracted ya know...so it might look like i've forgotten everything, but it's just because my mind is elsewhere, honest! *cough* lol.

As for work Im still workin at the same ole, same ole, but im also making some extra money taking these surveys things online; you should give em a try; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
