BIOGRAPHY I was born, and then later I started playing guitar and writing songs. I love donuts, although I understand they are killing me. Most donut shops (at least in the Bay Area) have crappy coffee, and most good coffee shops don't have actual donuts, but rather scones and crap. This is sad. Anyway, I love music. I have been happy to play in a number of bands over the last few years, including, in chronological order, The Spikedrivers, 86(the band), Loretta Lynch, Henry Kaiser's Grooves of Mystery, and lumper/splitter, my improvisational duo with Lucio "The Reverend Screaming Fingers" Menegon. I've been fortunate enough to play with these fine people in swell places such as the Starry Plough in Berkeley, UK's Glastonbury Music Festival, Nevada's Burning Man festival, The Fillmore in San Francisco, and the Shoreline and Sleep Train Amphitheatres. All of these places were fun, but the only one that had a decent donut was Glastonbury. The Brits know how to make a donut. My favorite place to play is Smiley's in Bolinas. If you've never spent a night dancing at Smiley's, do yourself a favor. Sleep on the beach then get up and get donuts across the street. MMMmmmmmm. I am a member of the Immersion Composition Society, a group of upstanding citizens dedicated to QUANTITY songwriting. I still think College Music Journal (CMJ) sucks for replacing Loretta Lynch's legitimately charting (on KALX) first CD with it's own pay-to-play compilation CD in the charts, even though they claim it was a clerical error. My ass.				photo: Mike Woolson
