When I was in a band, the Drummer was my best friend in the world, Dave. You actually might know him Kess. Last I heard, he lived in Santa Cruz. David Eshelman, NOT the famous teacher/musician there in Santa Cruz :D One of the kindest humans it was my pleasure to know and the best drummer I ever played with.

Have you lost touch with your childhood friends?
 
Dogs, because for the most part I understand them. Basset hounds in particular because I've had them all my life. The first was only 1 month and 3 days younger than me. Current dogs are 4 & 5 years old.

Do you sight read, play by ear, use chord charts, or use tabs? Or more than one? And, if more than one, which do you prefer?
 
I read, not well but well enough to get by. I don't get called for it much on gigs. I can definitely play from chord charts, and I can definitely play by ear, either learning tunes by ear or, depending on the tune, simply following.
I prefer... not reading.

How many pets do you have, and what types?
 
Man, that is a tough question. I have so many things I love to do, but if cornered and my life was on the line...

I'd like to be a song writer that had such pull ( trust ) with the artists that I could get the voices ( artists ) for the song that I hear in my head when I create them.

Have you ever wrote a song? If so, how long have you been doing it?
 
I've written a few songs, it's a bit of a long process for me for some stupid reason, I think the first one was called "the grand pineapplestein" when I was 17, and I just finished writing one this morning called "stupid cliche". I've got all of the song down, but the lyrics are going to need some work.

what was the title of the last song you've written?
