A Seattle native ... Russ Roberts - AKA " Etherian Kamaboko " on SecondLife ... After leaving a position in Research & Development at AREA 51, he has decided to embark on a virtual career in music on SL ( Second Life ). After many years of studying forward/reverse on his Dad's 1952 Dodge and 4 years at MIT which has helped to make his blend of Folk, Blues, Rock & Roll and Jamn music appear Etheral and cosmicaly connected at times. His cosmic rational is .....Tune your "G" strings and come on out for some Live music.
I Have lived and traveled in New England, NYC, Guam, Sotheast Asia, Africa, and Europe... currently living in Western North Carolina ..... Started traveling the world at age 10. Joined first band at age 10 as the drummer .. and well ... it was soo strong it pulled me in ..that's where it all started. The rest .... is history.

The songs available here on MySpace were all done on PC using Cakewalk Pro where i have multitracked all the instruments on all songs with the exception of " Help Me Momma " I am currently working to finish a CD before the end of 2008.
