I'm making patterns out of clouds As they float softly overhead And I never for an instant think "I should have stayed in bed" Which is funny to me now Because I used to think it often When I wore a suit and tie That I might buy a better coffin.

I play bass in the Detroit rock band, Cowboy Messiah (www.myspace.com/cowboymessiah), and we have a free show in Plymouth, MI this Thursday night (8.20/09) @ Memphis Smoke in Royal Oak, MI. We will share the bill with the outstanding Detroit rock band, National Ghost (www.myspace.com./nationalghost). Killer food, potent potables, FREE rock n' roll, and indoor plumbing. Start your weekend right by starting it on a Thursday Cool people do stuff (be cool)

Collaboration is my favorite form of existence. I play bass and write words. I would love to find a publisher. I would love to find a record label.

If you are coming to, or near, Detroit I would be happy to help you find a gig. If you need a band, or bands, for an event of some sort, I can help you with that too. I'm friendly and honest and a practiced collaborator, (that's got to be good for something, right?) I can write bass lines, and if you've got a written piece you're stuck on, I can probably help you get going again. I'm also a decent painter and I have a strong back.
