About me: I'm not going to tell you why I have pi tattooed on my arm, stop asking. What I WILL talk to you about is saxophones, harmonica, funk, jazz, soul, blues, rock, classic rock, classic R&B, classic cars, Coca-Cola classic, and Vlassic pickles. I also enjoy the Red Wings, the Steelers, penguins, mac n cheese, pistachios, and pirates. George Clinton would wipe the floor with Curtis Mayfield in a fight. I dig jazz fusion and don't care what you say about it. "Play the funk." Let's jam sometime.
