- G.A.S. List:
- You name it!
- Gigs, Bands, & Ensembles:
- Gingley JoH, Down Under Thunder, Pumpin' Ethyl, Green Light Go (occasionally)
- Influences and Teachers:
- I started off playing classical music on upright, so I guess Handel, Mozart and Beethoven all get props. I didn't start playing electric bass until much later, and my style isn't really modeled after anyone (self-taught), but players whom I really enjoy and respect include: John Paul Jones, Duck Dunn, Steve Harris, Dean Peer, Carl Gunther, Adam Nitti, Doug Johns, David Dyson, Trip Walmsley, Christian McBride, Charlie Haden, Chris Squire, Phil Lesh, John Entwhistle, Willie Dixon, and lots more who I can't think of right now...
- Other Hobbies & Interests:
- Karate (taekwando), boating, skiing, beer-brewing, home audio, WoW, and mostly my wife and kids!
