Wow, I get a lot of nice emails from you folks. It always puts a smile on my face. I live in a suburb of Washington, DC, USA. It's pretty normal here. Well, my house is anything but, but besides that...
It's always cool to hear from guys 'n gals around the world, all on the quest for sonic greatness!
I've got a myspace page that I'd like to invite you wonderful readers to.
(Just say you're from UG, 'cause I get a lotta spam.)

Everything is greening up. The trees,

I strive to infuse in my playing. Here's a few of 'em that have hit me
in the face this week (if only I could apply them!): READ FULL STORY
Some of my US readers may have seen the news about
the street racing accident in Accokeek. A crowd had gathered in the
middle of the night to watch an illegal street race. Unfortunately, the
crowd had gathered in the middle of the road. An unrelated car plowed
into their midst, killing eight.
Flowers, teddy bears, and spray painted forensics work mark the spot.
It
also happens to be on my way to band practice. It's a tragedy, and one
that could have been prevented. Most often news stories aren't close to
