At this time, I'm involved in some freelance work and practicing basic things like scales and lip flexibilities.
Influences

I've also been influenced by a lot of people in person (view credits) over the years. For a larger version of the photo below, save it to your computer.
Sounds Like
Here are some older tracks (view info) from some gracious friends:
Adam grew up in the country, joined the Army and wound up in the city, then went to college and got married, then joined a Blues Rock band, then started substitute teaching and then formed his own band and named it "About A Minute Ago." What a cool life. Thinking I have three more innings left but (as you know) anything can happen.
