How long have you lived in the Portland area?
since late '99. Had to get out of SF before Y2K!!
Give us a brief history of your band/project:
Well, I was in my 1st band at age 15. I'm 50 now. Haven't really taken a break. I have been taking a break from doing the full band thing for a year or two now and I have been playing solo. All by my lonesome. It's a new challenge.
What’s the first song you ever learned to play?
Day Tripper by the Beatles but I wasn't doing it correctly for a while. I was putting an F# where the G should go. Oh well. I got there eventually.
What’s your favorite local venue to play? To see other bands?
The Doug Fir is really nice for a big rock sound. They do a good job there. I like the Aladdin for seeing a show / listening. All of them can be good if the night is right. I've had good times at many of them. I guess I like the small rooms the best.
Speaking of other bands, who do you like on the Portland music scene?
A few names come to mind. I know of so many. New and old. Not gonna pick. It's too hard! :0
Tell us about a recent “Only in Portland” moment you might have had.
I've gotten so used to Portland and its peculiar ways. I find it to still be a great place for a freak like myself. Anyhoo... "Only in Portland" ?? Not really.
Finish this sentence: “I cannot live without_____.” Water.
