About me:

..My primary function is as a drummer, I have over 20 years of playing with all kinds of groups, classical to jazz, rock to reggae, to theater. I am aspiring to be a vinyl DJ, but mostly I have been spinning solely to living room guests. Mostly. I work five days/forty hours a week doing video-related work for Cal, doing everything from video dubbing, editing, shooting, digitizing, and engineering on occasion. I skate, I snowboard, I eat, I drink, I be merry. The Oakland A's are my team, of course. I'm a pretty simple straightforward dude.

Who I'd like to meet:

BASS PLAYERS - acoustic, electric, rock, jazz, funk, reggae. DEEJAYS. Piano players. Singers. Come on now, I should know all of you already.

Music Player

  • Jun 18 2008 6:15 AM

    Ill see if I can make it on Sunday and tailgate with you guys! I would really love to man. I know its no Giants game, hahaha, but its still goin out to the ball game and it would be awesome to go to my 1st game with you and Kathy!

    Right now my family and I are only planning on being there that Saturday. We'll arrive in the morning for the shower and head back that night. If I do stay, I'm down to go with you guys! Thanks Jim. If I can't go to the game, it will still be nice to finally see you and Kathy again.
  • Jun 16 2008 6:33 AM

    While I tip my hat off to the A's, I still think they were lucky! Haha.

    Lets see when the series shifts to Oakland later this month. You know how the Giants have I think the 4th best road record in the big leagues, haha. It unusual how they have a hard time winning games in their home field.
  • Jun 12 2008 4:52 AM

    So you're stoked for the Bay Bridge series this weekend? I know I am, haha.

    Will you and Kathy be at Margaret's and Eric's wedding shower on the 21st of this month?
