Figured I would tell a bit about myself and get to know the rest of ya! Since I am new here and all!
I am 43 married one daughter! I have always loved Music! drums forever! When I was a kid my dad took me to a KISS concert.(Poor bastid
) He basically stayed in the hall crying about the volume but, I love him, he took me! The tickets were in my xmas stocking! and the show was in February at the Providence civic center!
When I saw Peter Chris's drums I was mesmerized and wanted so bad to be like that! and thats when it all started the rest is history! many sets of drums later I still love it!
I am a commercial/Recreational fisherman, own my own boat and work very hard from May till November1st or so, good money but many, many hours, However I love the water and Love to fish, I live right on Narragansett Bay here in Rhode Island! In my off time beside family, I love nothing more than putting headphones on and playing along to just about anything depending on the mood, its a great workout and a great stress releiver! I feel like I am 12 all over again when I play! its amazing! Whenever I have a gig in a local bar or whatever, I get very very exited.....cant wait for the friday of saturday night to come! Then its over so fast, like a blur...but man is it fun to watch people dancing to YOUR backbeat!
I never took lessons of any kind just self tought, but long enough to know a thing or two..My wife is a chemist! and has no desire to go with me on this mid-life crisis, but she certainly supports my "hobby"...some of us will always be kids at heart and the drums do that to me...I find myself in GC on a saturday afternoon behaving as badly as the kids! pounding on all the kits etc...Anyway I love it! There is nothing at all like the drums...its the best instrument there is! Rock ON!
Here are a couple of pics of me with my other passion! Couple of nice Striped Bass, that bring me $4.50 a pound! The one kneeling in the water is a picture that will be used in an upcoming book on Striper fishing.Notice my Lic. Plate....Before you ask, thats a nickname I got because I use live eels alot for Stripers , hence "eelman" I hate when a camara cathes you with your eyes closed! anyway, thats a bit about me!
