PREFERENCES: I prefer new alternative rock, blues rock, and christian rock (and occasionally classic rock, bluegrass, or progressive country ...like Lucinda Williams). Lately I'm listening to ......Thousand Foot Krutch, Skillet, Chevelle, Paramore, 311, Incubus, Seether, Flyleaf, Pillar, David Crowder Band, Radiohead, Switchfoot, Three Days Grace, AudioSlave, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Third Day, Jimmy Eat World, Good Charlotte, and lots lots more. OTHER GROUPS: I'll play and/or sing whenever I can, with just about anyone who's interested -- at church or work or home. ( ...Lately it's been mostly with ModernRelics, and also with Tod & Jason at church. =) THOUGHTS: The first reason I wanted to play guitar was to sing along. But now I really enjoy playing and singing with other folks. And I really like "performing" songs with lyrics I can be proud of as a Christian and a dad. |
