| bio: |
As the son of a swing / bebop / cool jazz drummer, I was exposed to a lot of great music and musicians growing up. I learned to appreciate all different kinds of music. I couldn't get enough music to listen to, spending way to much money on albums and stereo equipment in my youth.
My collection contains everything from Autry to Zeppelin. Some faves are: Joan Armatrading, Black Sabbath, Crack the Sky, Genesis, Yes, Tower of Power, Rush, Bruce Cockburn, Ryan Adams, Jayhawks, Oscar Peterson, Jimmy Smith, Jimmy Cliff, Ramones, and Kiss - you get the picture! |
