Avoiding the END
This is a continuance of "a quiet high" an acoustic page I set up on Myspace a few years ago. This is just an artistic outlet project for me. I've loved writing and playing music since I was around 13 years old. For at least a third of my life I've been in bands where I could release musical ideas, A few California bands I played guitar for include:
Watch It Burn. (96-03). Rebel[s] Wrench.(04). and CrashkillsFour.(05-06). I am now married with 2 small boys and have an actual career, leaving me with little to no time to play music. But this is something that I've always loved to do, so here are some songs that sum up the past few years for me writing and recording in a makeshift home studio . If your listening, thanks for spending a little time...
