About me: I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Hello!
I heart art, records, dogs, staying up late, single malt scotch, summertime, sitars, skee-ball and the Coast to Coast AM radio show. Am very fortunate to be surrounded by fantastic talented and kooky friends who give life lots of color, humor and depth.
I am an artist/gallery publicist (LJP), spin vinyl records under the clever name “DJ Lee” at Bigfoot Lodge, Saints & Sinners and other venues/events and also run an independent record label called DIONYSUS RECORDS.
