There is no one but me...Just me...
I got fed up with trying to get my band to play my songs, so I broke off and have been writing ever since. I will let you all decide if I made the right decision.

Do you play live?
Not since leaving the band...I liked playing live. My very first time playing in front of a crowd, my legs were shaking so bad, I could barely stand. Then, when we were done playing, I jumped off the stage...not realizing that the lights were that low...I bashed my head on a light rig...then, I saw lights. Another show...we were not paid money...we were paid with beer. Good times!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Let me put it this way...when I first heard Metallica, it was a copy of a copy of a copy of a tape. I did not even know who or what I was listening to at the time. A couple of years later. I finally found out, then I went out and bought every album they had out at the time...a grand total of 3 albums. I'm dateing myself there...
Anyway, my point is that mp3's are just the new version of that tape.
