Howdy there!

I don't think anyone wants to hear my life story...and if they do, I don't want to devalue the eventual book and movie rights by going on about it here.

I'll just give you a few dirty secrets:

a) Three Quarter Ale is the first real band I've ever been in. Well, except for playing euphonium in junior high.

b) I almost never play a full A chord in the first position...if you watch closely, I'm actually cheating and playing an incomplete A6 chord. Although I guess you'd have to be pretty bored to watch that closely.

c) I'm originally from Durham, NC, but I moved down here from the mountains of Lexington, VA.

d) I'm a Jackie Chan fanatic, and I met him and his bodyguard Kenneth Lo at his book signing at the Duluth Wal-Mart.

e) I love 80's crap metal. And Duran Duran.

f) Wicked Pete's costume is filthy by negligence more than by a consuming desire to provide verisimilitude.
