I guess I started like most music obsessed pre-pubescent boys wanting to be a rock star. adoration, sex, music, money. well I tried, and I tried, an t-t-t-try-tried. And here I am 18 years later writing songs for my friends. I've seen many of my friends and peers make it and believe it or not I'm not jealous. I just wonder what my path was meant to be. I hope you get something out of the music I post even if it's just a smile. I like it here on virb, I think myspace is a popularity contest that I'm growing tired of. Bands adding you for exposure not because they think you might actually connect with them. That's what music is to me a connection, a sympathetic vibration, whether its literal like in a lyric or symbolic of a point in time or speaks to you on some sonic primitive level. Does it matter to anyone if I keep doing it ,writing songs or playing shows? I don't know, I guess to some out there they say "shit if he's still doing it". I've been in over 12 bands writing original music and tried most positions in a rock band. The stuff on this page is just a little bit of my music. I've been able to talk to myself and to others over the years through indie rock which is more valuable than,sluts, drug problems, and million dollar debts to record companies. why do you do it?
