    Pedals:

    Empress Compressor (always on, 2:1 just a wee bit o' comp to even things out)
    Boss OC-2 Octave (For "Rocky Mountain Way" and occasional thickening, or if I want to show off)

    Hobbies and Interests:
    Music's it! Oh yeah, girls, and movies. That's it, except for In-N-Out and zoos and baseball (love me some Dodger baseball!) ...and this thermos.
    I hate playing with knuckleheads. I moved to Austin from Cali 15 years ago and have played with some very fine and dandy players. Only once in a while do I get stuck with a "son-of-knuck".

    Sometimes I'M the "knuck" and I try to learn from it so I won't repeat it. Lessons still being learnt.
