Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've played guitar on and off, since about 1984-85 or so. Took a number of years off in the mid-90's and didn't really play at all, until the fall of 02'. Now I'm a full blown guitar-addict once again.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not since '93 or so.

What equipment do you use?
Equipment used on these tunes; Dean EVO AS7/Dean Avalanche 7/Squire Stagemaster 7/Squire Jason Ellis model guitars through a Digitech GNX1/V-Amp2/J-Station/POD 2.0/Digitech Genesis 1/Zoom 505II. A 5 string Peavey Millenium BXP5 through the J-Station for the bass.
All recorded on a Boss BR-1180 (older tunes) and in Cakewalk Guitar tracks Pro 2.0 (for recent tunes...w/Fruity Loops for drums/percussion, that's it. I miss the "real" band days. LOL
Anything else?
I've been going through dry spell in the writing dept. Hoping to have some new stuff up by the end of this year or early 07.
