“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.” - Hunter S. Thompson

Hi!
Like Charlie Chaplin?
I wrote a song (The Last Train) and mixed and reshuffled scenes from three different silent movies ... what's the bottom line? Well, there's a silverlining to every cloud, or, better being a part of the solution than of the problem. Always Trust!
