****** About Me ******
image
I've been playing guitar since 1989 so I can play a little. (Yeah Right) I started off wanting to be Randy Rhodes, then Kirk Hammett (and My rhythm guitars sound like James Hetfield), so now I just try not to sound like anyone.
But then again anything you can think of it there's someone just finishing it up somewhere else.
I've learned I can pretty much play anything on guitar, and sing like a 90's grunge singer, and have gotten really good at mixing songs, and if anyone needs help or advice, feel free to ask.
I used to play Guitar for a band from 1995-1999 called "Gate 7" ® in North Charleston SC. I've put all of our songs (except one from a demo I don't have) on that everyone should hear so they know what came before. But I hope you like my music and it's not too bad... "but I get better looking each day" lol smiley

What brought me here to have as many songs and be a bigger part of this online community was the bunnies in the chat-room for the artists. So I have two songs written for them.. Nothing serious just stuff for fun.

The Hop a short Metallica style anthem to make them dance.
Soft Lullaby (or Bunny-By) A piece to put those dancin' bunnies to sleep after "The Hop"
March of the Cottontail Music for bunnies plotting to take over the world
