I am a hardcore metal musician at heart, which has led to music composition most my life.  Musical performances began with classical piano at age eight, but ACDC Back n Black came out that year; changed me forever.  I began rhythm compositions around 15, which led to frontman positions for hardcore band practices by 19, and at 25 performing live for some of those bands.  I have thrown parties where 500 to 700 person crowds were typical, and performed before crowds of about 2500 people.  Downsizing the last ten years raising children, but kids are growing up nowl, so I am ready to write music again.  I have a Les Paul Sandard Plus Top (blue sunburst) with a Marshall 120w 4x12 half stack, and a Gibson tube amp 100w with two 4x10 towers.  My favorite sound is derived from the les paul/marshall combo, which cannot be beat in my opinion, but the Gibson 1967 GSS100 tube amp is a nice way to separate yourself when you are playing against bands who all have marshalls.  I have two albums worth of original material (best of about 40 to 50 songs) that just need to be finished before I begin new projects both on this site and locally.  I need a drummer, bassist, and vocalist to help me put these together.  I am open to permanent positions for recording CD and tour with chosen contributors, or royalties for those who help me.  All rights are reserved on these songs and their recordings, except rights waived under the selected Creative Commons license.  All rights reserved on any Lyrics, art work or pictures or videos.
