I have been playing music all my life, learning drums formally at the
age of 9. I picked up the bass at 14, and a year later won a scholarship to
the world-renowned Berklee College of Music for their 1992 summer program.
At the age of 17, I won the 1993 Galaxie CBC Rising Star Award at
MusicFest Canada, and entered Humber College with a scholarship the following
year. Since age 15, I have played professionally in jazz, blues, rock,
and R&B bands in both Canada and the US, and have appeared on a number of
recordings. My preferred instruments are the upright acoustic bass and both
fretted and fretless electric bass. I presently play in a number of
ensembles and live in Guelph, Ontario.

Hey Jesse great tracks! The Bug Demo funkiness...super talented JT nice variation of different sounds and feels...perhaps I could send you a beat or vice versa...all the best with your future frequencies...B
Hey There! Yea I'm not so impressed about the fact that I missed you, so next time, you'll have to stay longer:P. Oh and I heard that my mother told you that I was at home, and didn't want to hangout with her, which is sort of a lie, lol. Last time I checked I'm underage. I'm doing pretty good, I guess. I wouldn't realy call doing homework at 4am all of that awesome though, lol. How are you doing? How's everything up in Guleph, don't you like it here better? lol. How did playing go on Sunday night, I wish I could have seen you play, since I haven&'t yet. Take Care
Hmmmmm, so I think I remember hearing something about you being in St.Catharines this wekeend. Which is kind of funny because I don't remember seeing you....odd. And no, I'm not always this sarcastic either.
Hey Jesse Alrighty, I get it now. I don't even know when grape and wine is to tell you the truth, but hopefully I'm not working! I'm sure I'll at least get to see you for a few minutes. Oh yea, and school starts soon, I'm sure I'll be full of wonderful school stories:P.
Hey! Alrighty sounds good, I should be home, I have baseball on Wednesday nights so I don't work that day. And yup I'm going to Brock, having some techincal difficlties right now, but I'm going:P. Are you playing when you come down, or just for a visit?
