The songs posted here are quick & dirty recordings made on an Olympus Digital Voice Recorder while sitting on my couch staring at the white oak trees surrounded by poison ivy in my front yard. The trees, that is, are surrounded by poison ivy. Not me. I'm surrounded by air.
I played in my first rock band in 1967 in Erie, Pennsylvania. Musical styles (garage, psychedelic, folk, metal, prog, punk, power pop, industrial rhythm & noise, improv, alt, jazz, swing) and home bases (Erie, Boston, Tampa, Chicago, San Francisco, Memphis) have varied widely over the years. Currently performing solo acoustic, and as a member of Chees Kees (bass/guitar/vocs).

I just listened to all you tunes (here) while doing homework. It was nice to hear your voice. We miss your soul in Erie. You should take that Olympus Digital Voice Recorder to a gig some night and load us a couple live tunes. Peace, Joe Popp (remember me?)
Thanks for the request. You beat my request to you by mere minutes. I only became acquainted with the fact that you have a MySpace site within the last 10 minutes.
Now, if you haven't beaten me to it, I'm going to send you a request from my thunderjack site.
Ain't the internet COOL?
BTW, I love your avatar! You look like I feel most of the time.
