How long have you been playing?
I started playing a drum pad when I was 9 years old. A few years later I auditioned for Joe Hight in his garage with his 28 piece ensemble. A month later I got a set of drums for like a hundred bux. Then, about 4 months later, someone asked me to play a song for them, so I played Wipe Out. I was pretty good to :D... But then they asked me to play another song, and without the rest of the band I felt like a retard, so a week later I bought a guitar, and an amp, and I learn all the chords in the back of an Alfred's book in about 3 months, and then told Joe I wanted to be a guitar player. He auditioned me again, and then me and Jimmy switched, and I've been a guitar player ever since. Jimmy Hight, to this day remains one of the best drummers I've ever been blessed to play with.
What was the first concert you ever went to?
1963. The Beatles. Ed Sullivan show.
What gear do you use?
Strat, JP 50, Marshall, Fender, Hartke, and Bugera amps. Boss BR-1200 recorder. Cry Baby, Zoom G3, and RAT pedals. Mackie mixer. Schecter Bass. Roland GR-20 guitar synth.
...piece of what?
...piece of what?
What are you looking for from Fandalism?
a guitar tuner, a drum tuner, a multi-track recorder, and a cup of coffee.
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
The Beatles. They were a great little band. Ed Sullivan show.
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
These questions are annoying.
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
John Lennon on rhythm guitar. John Alec Entwistle on bass. Jimi Hendrix on lead guitar. Jim Morrison on lead vocals. Rick Wakeman on keyboards. John Bonham on drums. Alan Parsons as soundman. and me as 2nd lead guitar :D
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
a bunch, and there were about four people in their 90's that I led worship for in a very small church in Havertown back in the 90's. hmmm...what a co' ...
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
The Beatles White Album. 1966. It's raw, experimental, and brilliant.

"Saving Israel"
Genesis 12:1-3
1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

"Who Needs Friends"
Have you ever been hurt by a friend?
What if it was your best friend who destroyed almost 50 years of Life, Death, Music collaboration, and every other thing that kids grow up, and grow old together do?
Who needs people when they only disappoint?
