" I've played in a few live bands back in the day and with the technology now and the experience I believe I have aquired over the years...I think I can bring a few things to the table....after succumbing to the 9-5 grind for a while and being out of the whole creative scene (I'm also an artist/designer)..(laughing) I'm back!!"
