- musician

Where to begin? I've been obsessed with music all my life. I started on drums in 4th grade, switched to Trombone in 6th, took up the guitar about 2 years later and have been bending the strings ever since.
Random thoughts on the topic of me:
I swear a lot.
I like to take pictures.
I enjoy the outdoors.
I believe that organized religion is the root of all evil in the world....money takes a close second place.
I can't afford the fucking gas, but I still drive an SUV.
I live in a small, quiet little town because I hate people, which is why collaborating online seems so appealing.
I think that Baseball is superior to all other sports.
I like beer, but only once a month or so.
I like cigarettes.
I have a Govt job.
I enjoy watching a good fender-bender.
I believe in free speech.
I hate the word "genre"
I believe that after the age of 60 you should have to take your road test for your drivers license every 5 years.....old people should get off the fucking road.
My job requires me to drive a lot.
I love music.
I love to play the guitar.
I could eat pizza 7 days a week.
I'm really not as miserable as this write-up makes me sound.

Working With Others
- How I Work:
Free mustache rides for the ladies!!!
(I work for free)
- Experience:
I have many faces, musically speaking. I worked for 5 years as a drill instructor and music director for 2 marching bands in the upstate NY area. I love Drum Corps and find the world of competitive music exhilarating. Unfortunately it's also very stressful.....which is why I don't do it anymore.
Over the past 19 years or so I've played in a wide variety of bands.....you know, the typical cover band thing, the jazz band thing, the jazz/funk thing, the hair band shit, the jam band shit and some other crap in between.
Despite all that my primary focus has been original music. I had the honor of playing with one hell of a monster band for the past 6 years. The songs posted here under "sample work" are from that band, or you can check it out at: http://www.myspace.com/modusonmyspace
- Equipment:
This is where I'm supposed to advertise other people's stuff for free, right?
Fender guitars, Fender and Rivera amps....many many many effects of various makes and purposes.
blah blah blah
