Jester'Smile
Me and VonFace have been creating music together off and on since 1980 or so...this latest project is strictly the two of us playing seperately together, unplanned and unrehearsed by way of the internet...these first half-dozen tracks are just me messing around on the drums and Von filling in the gaps with bass, guitars and keyboards, making it into the musical experience it becomes...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've played many shows with various bands over the last 25 years.. but VonFace and I haven't performed together with a band since 1983, it would be a great show! However at the present time I do play live in my basement studio as often as possible, usually there is a cat or two hanging around as well...
Your musical influences
for this project:
the Grateful Dead, old Genesis, S.Copeland, B.Brufford, any and all good jazz
and many other bands that I'm discovering here...
What equipment do you use?
Gretsch Catalina Birch w/ Remo heads, Zildjian and Paiste cymbals, Pro Mark sticks, Lp congas and misc. percussion, Yamaha PSR-500, and a 100yr old upright piano
Anything else?
