My main interests are found on my blogs, specifically at The Rock Relic, Musicbender, and Musician's Notebook. Otherwise, it's humor, reading, pets, and nature.
The one thing I've found about life is that there are so many fields and endeavours to choose from that you can't really narrow your specific faves down to two or three. You've gotta keep an open mind and heart if you're gonna grow ... and, by doing so, new and more vibrant thoughts and ideas can come into play.
Music
THE FORE (these guys are destined to be the biggest hit since The Invasion bands!), oldies and classic rock (there is a difference. Ask me how); Beatles, The Riot Squad, Fourmost, Four Just Men, Searchers, Big Three, Yardbirds (past and present), Pirates (same), Clapton, Zep, Nickelback, OK GO, Peter and the Penguins, Sterling Y, Stackridge, The Fratellis, Hoobastank, The SpongeTones, Modest Mouse, Joss Stone, Sarah McLachlan, Leona Lewis Duffy, Jay-Z, Ludacris, Ice-T, Beyonce, Tony Bennett, Harry Connick, Jr.
Movies
Any shorts by the Three Stooges. movies by the Marx Brothers, or by The Beatles (such as Hard Day's Night, Help, Yellow Submarine), Airplane!, UHF or the Police Squad series, Forrest Gump and a few others.
Oh ... and any of Jim Carrey's movies will have me in front of them, beginning-to-end!
Television
Comedy. "Whose Line Is It, Anyway?", "House", "Two-And-A-Half Men", "The Red Green Show", Craig Ferguson, reruns of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie", "Are You Being Served?", all three "Law and Order" shows, "CSI's", "NCIS", "The Closer", reruns of "Shindig!".
Books
"The Magic Of Thinking Big" by David Schwartz, "Stuff Happens -- and then you FIX it!" by Lloyd Thaxton/John Alston, "In His Own Write" by John Lennon, "My Brother Was An Only Child".
Heroes
Obviously, my mum and dad come first. They're passed away from this life, but, somewhere, they're huggin' the daylights out of each other. Then, Pete Dintino (who recently beat leukemia. Ask me about his story ... you'll be amazed!), John Lennon (he of outspoken honesty, great music and boldness).
Many others, like Ron Ryan (UK songwriter with an amazing story), Moulty Moulton (of the Barbarians) and James Hetfield (of Metallica) make the grade as well ..
Music historian, promoter, writer, reviewer, owner of PressOne Promotions.
Divorced, Three grown sons (two in Navy, one mechanic in NC)
Occasionally sit in as guitarist or drummer with regional bands
5' 10", 160 lbs.
believe in humor, pets, walking, spontaneity, creativity, positivity, communication.
Now that that's outta the way:
For over a year now, I've been privileged to work with the fab UK band, THE FORE. From their first successful indie CD, Black and White thru their hit live shows in the UK to their newest album, Run and Hide, we've become great friends.
Today, I'm their U. S. Press Agent and, together, the lads and I are seeing some tremendous airplay, a fanbase that's growin' faster than that proverbial "speeding bullet", and ... well, they're on their way to becoming the hottest act in rock itself!
In just a minute (through a scroll-down) you'll be able to hear samples from their latest CD. There's no doubt about it: They're on their way to becoming the new legends of rock! Speakin' of The Fore:.. PLUG INTO THE ENERGY OF THE FORE AS THEY CONTINUE TO CLIMB THE CHARTS AND DRAW RAVE REVIEWS FROM FANS AND PRESS ALIKE! Check out their blog at theforeband.blogspot.com and their own MySpace page! I'll have more updates on here shortly ...

Who I'd like to meet:
There's nobody I don't want to meet, actually. Whether you're a rocker or not, we can always shoot the bull about somethin'!
There is one basic requirement, though, and that's the fact that I don't allow ANYONE who's got a crappy mouth, wants to promote violence, racism, or filth of any kind, into my world! Can't give peace any chance if you're busy tryin' to take it from someone else.
That bein' said, feel free to write, come on-board as friend, or whatever. You're always welcome here as long as you know it's gotta be clean!
