About Me |
|
| Long gone are the good ole days of staying up tripping on gel acid I got straight from the Haight Ashbury in the '80's and '90's. So are the good ole days of "partying" ! The "fun" got out of control and I had to surrender to a different higher power. I know, it's a cliche' IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU !! KEEP IT SIMPLE, AND JUST DON'T USE TODAY. That works for ME. Now, I have a better life than I ever thought possible !!I am just a regular guy who plays bass, and at one time pursued a career in music, but I eventually had to get a "real job". I still continue to play on a daily basis, and I try to play with different local musicians as often as my schedule allows. Once you get the music bug, that's it ! I have been playing bass for over twenty years, and fusion/progressive rock is my favorite style. It's fun, challenging, and is a great creative outlet. STEVE DEVANEY of San Rafael, CA is the single most biggest influence of my bass playing. I met him in the 1980's. My favorite bassists are Mark King, Geddy Lee, Stanley Clarke, Jimmy Johnson, and Jaco . Rudy Sarzo, Geezer Butler, Steve Harris, and Jon Taylor were early inluences on my style. I have a solid rock foundation, and my four favorites have opened creative doors for me over the last two decades. I play slap style mostly, and I'm heavily influenced by the brilliant playing of Mark King, Stanley Clarke, and Geddy Lee. I play through an SWR SM400s, which is a 500w stereo head, when bi-amped. It's CRYSTAL CLEAR sounding, and it really cuts through in my band situation. I really love the sound I get ! I still use my Trace Elliot AH250SMX, too !! I love the versality of Trace Elliot amps, and have been using them for more than 20 years. I use DR Marcus Miller strings. | |

I'd like to meet:I would've loved to have met Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. They were so funny and classy. I'd like to meet Geddy Lee and Mark King. I've had the honor of meeting Jimmy Johnson and Stanley Clarke. Harrison Ford and David Duchovny and Jason Statham are cool, too. George Carlin is one of my heroes, and so is Sam Kinison. They live by their own rules and principles. Ron Jeremy is also in that same category. I respect people who pave their own road, and beat us at our own game !!! They are true Americans. I would love to meet Clint Eastwood. He is COOL !!!!!!!!!!! POLITICIANS SUCK AND GET EVERY STUPID LITLE HOLIDAY OFF WITH PAY !! I BET YOU DON'T !! I'M SURPRISED THEY DON'T GET GROUNDHOG DAY OFF WITH PAY !! |
