with all the new people posting here as of late, i thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread just to get to know each other a little better. superficially, obviously. after you've been here awhile we can all learn everyone's deepest secrets and all your insecurities.

My idea of a perfect day is good tea and even better records. I shake with nerves when I meet musicians that I idolize, I once used the word Jazztastic to Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree and he gave me a look that shattered my very soul. I have two dreams in life:

#1: to tour Japan with Godhand (supporting Rolo Tomassi)

#2: Tea and chit-chat with Bjork.

i do work for a record company that has been in the USA since 1946, and i've been asked to join bands after they heard me play, but i ain't driving around in a van forever with five guys. ever again... i was a roadie for years. i never had the desire to jump around on stage. i prefer just playing for fun with buds.

 

the record company i work for produced Slim Harpo, Lazy Lester, Lightnin Slim, Katie Webster... on and on... Warren Storm, Sonny Landreth, lots of soul, r&b, blues, zydeco, rockabilly.... they've been around since 78 rpm Victrola's were the media of choice...
