I play a 5 string fretless bass, alto saxophone, guitar, piano, Indian flute, balafon, vocals, drums, and I am heavily involved with all forms of synthesis. Feel free to drop a comment ;) I might just pick it up.

I like rock music, wish I could sing, alternative metal goth/industrial and similar music, and still wish I could sing. I live on my own in Taunton, MA, and I work full time selling and servicing cellular phones for NEXTEL & T-Mobile, and fulfilling the needs of my two offices. Not believeing in god does NOT make me a satanist, since I don't believe in the devil either.
