Hello all still working and gigging. Hoping to get a new project on the go this summer of 2006.
It is time to put the Original stuff out to the listening public and see what cooks. Going to put together a 4pcs unit with some chunky Ontario players with the experience and intuitive sence to make my original work their own. Hope to begin rehearsals this February/March. and see if by May we can hook up on some festivals and concert venues looking for some fresh faces.

Do you play live?
I am a freelance player most of the time,subbing in for musicians in southern Ont.,I play Bass ,Drums,and guitar and do a little vocal as well.The picture of Pink and myself is from the "Matador", after hrs club.Famous old country dance hall turned into Raw driving rock from 3am till 5am. She was in the city doing an interactive up and close with Much Music. After partying in the city Pink and a small group of record people and some friends ended up there.
She made her way to the stage and the rest was just good old rock and roll!!! She was Cool!!!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
This gives artists I beleive a chance to put the ball a little more in their court. The amount of untapped talent just blows my mind and for those who can barely afford a good demo this gives them a place to let their music be heard. Some amazingly talented music writers and performers are just a click away now. The thing that is really impressive to me is you can hear what ever you like and not only or I should say mostly what the radio stations play and are what are told to play. I think this makes for great diversities in cultures and music can be heard without prejudice! In turn helping us to promote and distribute our product, Great Idea come from great people, so Big Thanks to Soundclick and hundreds of others making us a large independant window to veiw and be veiwed
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
well...., sh*** who cares. I guess I will cross that bridge if it ever happens. don't exactly need it today
Your influences?
I love Janis, she was one of my favourites. Ray Charles ,Joe Cocker, Billie Holiday,Tom Waits. There is so many greats, I could just go on and on.....
Favorite spot?
I really Love Toronto !! It a great city alive and very Diverse... Always lots to do. I just love playing in the city
Equipment used:
When I am on a guitar gig I usually bring my 63'& 69' strats. just 2 guitars. I play em thru not sure of the yr but Marshall studio 15 tube amp, this little monster sounds closer to 30 watts then 15. Only wish it had reverb. Oh well!!! When I go out for a Bass gig I have a Fender Power Jazz, which is active and ugly pink. I drilled some holes in the body because it is so heavey for me. I call it the Fender Swiss... When I am behind the kit I am using 1968 Ludwigs Silver sparkle. 20" kik, 13" tenor, 16" floor wooden Pearl 6" snare...
