BIOGRAPHY:
i have been playing drums since i was 15, going on 40 years! self taught.
Just looking for a gig. Bass or guitar. At this point, I'll take anything that comes down the pike. I haven't been playing out of the house for a while now. Jam sessions are hard to justify the lack of sleep.
Hey Bill,
Do you know about Ross Garfield the "Drum Doctor" out on the West Coast? They have a ton of great sounding kits.

Hey Bill, Actually I didn't find it, Dave Yoho invited me (I don't know how he even knows me) but this sight looks pretty cool. So here I am!
The combo is coming along very nicely. Ken Lamison has joined us and this is going to help out a lot - fattens up the sound and lets us get the syncopation thing going.
I got some good feed-back from the folks who heard us at the vet show. You know I'm often not sure how things are going. It's like my work in a way. Some customer hires me to install wallpaper in their kitchen and I spend all day staring at the seams and making sure it's plum and level and all that stuff. Six months go by and they hire me again to do their dining room and it's then that I actually get a chance to see what I did in the kitchen.
When we start giging soon (that is if we can find a venue to get a gig at) we'll get more fed-back and then I'll have an idea if what we're doing really has any appeal.
Any way - i hope to see you and Marcy soon, somewhere. Later.

I've been getting up at 5am past few months.
I haven't seen Duane Davis in years! Could you tell him to give me a call sometimes?
Thanks bro!
