I ENJOY...BEING ON STAGE...ER HELLO LET'S FACE IT- I'M ADDICTED TO THE STAGE!
FISHING...caught a 6lbs. muskee when I was a kid and was hooked (pardon the pun!), GOLF(although I'm not that good...yet)We have an awesome DOJO in our house and I kick "BOB'S" ass all the time! Bob's brother was seen in MISS CONGENEALITY at the beginning of the movie, Sandra Bullock was kickin' his ass!(he's a dummy)I love to jet ski, toss the ball around, I like a good ol romp in the hay, skinny dipping, climbin' tree's, climbin' trails, cruisin' topless in my miata with my dog...Rebel Princess... well the car is topless anyway... oh and I also like flashing truckers... what the heck! But number 1 love is performing on stage writing new songs and learning new songs that give me goose bumps that other people write... I'm always lookin' for new songs and co-writes! I'm co-authoring a book right now... and that's fun.... but if you want me to do "girly things like sit down and knit or crochet... ummmm that's not me... but if you listen to my song THAT'S STILL ME then... you will know exactly who I am! Oh and I love movies! I also do voice overs and have a link here... so you can hear me and hire me! Take care...n rock on!

BOOKS
hmmmmmmmm ok here we go, Ok I grew up in the midwest and on those rainey stormy days we would either play board games or go grab a book. when I was in school I would always pick the closest Archie comic book...but today I enjoy reading books on songwriting and books on the music industry...it's probably part of my library if it's been on an NSAI table in the lobby! Right now I am re-reading THE ART OF WRITING GREAT LYRICS by PAMELA PHILLIPS OLAND. I also enjoy reading biographies... and I am currently reading...JIMI HENDRIX THE INTIMATE STORY OF A BETRAYED MUSICAL LEGEND by SHARON LAWRENCE, but my ultimate favorite is a book I had as a lil' crumb snatcher by REMY CHARLIP called FORTUNATELY about a series of Fortunate and unfortunate incidents that happen to the character in the book! In life, that is how I live my life...if something unfortunate happens....than a fortunate somethingeranother will probably be around the corner!I'm also re-reading great motivational series of books by Scott Alexander the 3 Rhinocerology books! rrrrr!
Please feel free to drop me a note n tell me what you like to read! Smile give hugs n keep on reading!

When I was growing up we had a sign on our wall as you head up the stairs from the back door(no one uses the front door in the country) anyhoo...we had a sign that hung over where "Tinkerbell" our family poodle terrier slept,which was right at the top of the stairs so everyone could see that read..."THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE...ONLY FRIENDS WE HAVE NOT MET YET!" and that is how I have always lead my life! Yeah Mom! Thanx for making me,me!

KK Many blessings to you! I really enjoyed recording the Rock in a Hard Place CD with "The Shelt" producing. He challenged all of us in Bloodgood to give the best performances we could. He recorded the basic tracks of me, Mike and David at the same time and if any one of us made a mistake, we had to go back to do it again until all of us made it through flawlessly. (Poor David - just kiddin' bro). Keep rockin' and keep kickin' doors down! Peace, Mark Welling
