These were all recorded as I learned how to use the loops and recording features in Apple's Garage Band Software.
I'm often looking for new opportunities as a bass guitarist. I've got a full complement of pro gear, able to play a wide range of rock, pop, R&B/funk, country, and blues music styles, and have a day job/career that allows me to be flexible with schedule commitments. Get at me. I'm easy to work with, can get the job done, and can smile when things go wrong.

What a strange summer it was. No one remembers it fondly, and no one can forget it. Some photos of murals painted on shuttered downtown bars and restaurants.
Halloween fell on a Sunday this year, and as the evening approached I decided to visit Austin’s Hyde Park neighborhood. I’d seen some creative yard displays in years past but I did not realize that there are certain blocks there that throw their decor game into overdrive for the day proper.
A new gallery of photos to accompany my 2012 blog post “Ghost Mansion of Bay Saint Louis.” Gallery features many new photos, all in color, rather than the stylized black-and-white images in the original story.
A couple of months ago a couple of music friends of mine asked if they might use one of my photographs on their upcoming CD. I was flattered, of course. When it came time for me to deliver the photo it was apparent they had not settled on a designer, so I volunteered to take on the project. In a little over a week I'd scouted and shot a rural Texas road, found a way to work in another favorite photo, and had artwork ready to go.
On June 1st I joined Scott Simon and Kyle Lentz onstage for our first gig as The Scott Simon Project (see scottsimonproject.com). Brought my camera and Tracey Aubey took some nice shots.
Photoshoot for singer/rapper Jake Lloyd's upcoming EP. We rode around central and east Austin, scouting locations and shooting on the fly. We were both pleased with the results and many of the shots were used on his EP website.
Spent some time at a friend's family ranch in Cuero, Texas and got in a few shots. We found a dilapidated old barn/storage building full of relics from early to mid twentieth century, no doubt representing numerous generations of family history.
I dusted off my bass guitar and joined a band - Big Money Gators. I helped revamp their website too. Check it out – it's all in the process of coming together so bookmark it and watch it grow.
I got my first iPhone in 2008. The photo album transferred seamlessly to my next one so I now have a good four years of pictures at my fingertips. Ahh, technology. I went through and picked out some oddities to post here. Enjoy.
This day trip yielded way more than I expected from a privately owned and managed swimming hole and campground. This place reminds me of what I love about central Texas...
I might say calling this place a ghost house would be milking or pushing things save for one thing: Looking for information about it online can be downright elusive...
