MySpacea place for friends

My greatest love (besides my 2 kids, David and Michael) is music.

I'm a guitarist and a vocalist - I've performed in bands and shows of all sorts of genres on-and-off for 25 years or so. In recent years I have started writing songs - something I've never done before - some of them are pretty good...apparently.

I've recently resurrected my blues project - the Red House Blues Band - which essentially an excuse for me to indulge my passion for guitar-led blues. Influences are diverse, from Albert King through Robert Cray to Robben Ford - somehow picking up Santana and SRV on the way! I also front the rock band SKYHUNTER which performs my own material and songs I co-write with other band members see SkyHunter or www.myspace.co./skyhunterband

I'm keen to link-up with other folks out there playing, recording, promoting, supporting or just listening to good music, and very happy to "add" up-and-coming bands as well as more established names.

Your EQ is 153

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

Ha-ha - emotionally intelligent me? Obviously done too many of these damned things and know what answers to give!

You Are A Good Friend

You're always willing to listen Or lend a shoulder to cry on You're there through thick and thin Many people consider you their "best friend"!

Not sure I am such a good friend - but I do know I have some very good friends. If you're reading this you know who you are - thanks a million for helping me some tough times!

You Are 69% Grown Up, 31% Kid

Congratulations, you are definitely quite emotionally mature. Although you have your moments of moodiness, you're usually stable and level headed.

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things. Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life. You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation. You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon. Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall. You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others. At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults. Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion. A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

I am happy to "Add" any up-and-coming bands playing good music looking for exposure, good venues, promoters etc.
