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

Right on. I already have a basic idea of the melody and structure I may be able to get something done it the next few days. Have a great weekend, Halloween, etc.
