I will not bore you with my ancient history. Now, who really cares that I used to act out in my 7th grade music class because I had to play that unpopular instrument called the cello and to piss off the teacher, I used to kick the bridge out of the stand up bass to create a Sonic Boom. Who cares that I used to own black posters and listen to music of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin back in the late 70’s and early 80’s, and of course then the heavier music of Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Iron Maiden & Judas Priest? I’m too embarrassed to even speak of my hair band days. Am I boring you yet? Should I mention what my favorite food and color is? Not! Do you want to know what’s on my IPOD? Not! Or should I mention that I used play bass with the legendary cover band Pushin’ Daisys and then Junkmunky and currently fill-in for some other unpopular cover bands that you probably never heard of (Sycostatic, Panic Attack)? Or should I mention that I sometimes play for beer and shots (true)? When I’m not playing bubble gum rock live I’m learning more bubble gum rock at home. More RHCP & Tool! Yeah, that’s an idea!
See you at the show!
