Andrew "Spike" Lee (aka Zenskin) -- guitars, bass, keyboards, drum programming.  Carnival huckster, poet, musician, teacher, polymath, born across the sea and denizen of New York Jazz clubs.

Pedantic grammar geek.

Part Time palindrome author.

Band/artist history

Founded The Second Step, a New York City ska band in 1984, and began to write copiously.  Left the band to pursue a downward spiral of angst and mania and mathematics.  Discovered myself in New York in 1993, a little battered and bruised, with guitar in hand and just kept playing, learning, teaching.

Your musical influences

Louis Armstrong, Sly and Robbie, Bad Brains, Tom Waits, Paul Simon, Joe Pass, Bill Frisell

What equipment do you use?

Cakewalk Sonar XL, Native Instruments Battery, Epiphone Sheraton II, Fender Lonestar Stratocaster, M-Audio keystation, Breedlove Atlas acoustic, some spit and polish

Anything else?

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!
