I play bass for 2 bands a local country/Rock band CrossThread and also for a local country band Tracy Alison and the Drive.

CrossThread host an open jam every Wednesday at Tonahills Three of a Kind (Cecils).

My wife and some friends run the KChost Radio Network and we produce original radio content for many AM/FM and Internet Radio Station. Our shows are The NightWatch Show, The Wild Wild Westmar Show, The Anvil of Crom, Riff Revolution and In Dreams. We have also just launched the NightWatch Network and features paranormal content and old time radio shows.

I have a small but pretty nice guitar collection (I think so); An 1983 Ibanez RoadStar II, a Lotus Less Paul Copy and an American Standard Stratocaster. My main instument is Bass and I play a Conklin, Ibanez and my primary bass is a Geddy Lee Fender Jazz.

The Bass Rig. I was running a Hartke 2000 through a 2x10 on a 1x15 cabs but it seemed like I didn't have enough power and not the right sound. So I went out and bought an Ampeg BA210, it was ok at first and has a great sound but just seemed to get worse in terms of electronics (the DI buzzed) and cracking noises. I finally got fed up and went out and bought an Ashdown 414T Cab, it's a 4x10 with a Tweeter. So now I am back to my Hartke 2000 pushing 200 watts through the new 600watt Ashdown cab. So far I am very impressed! I will run with this for a while and we will see if I go with my original plan of buying an Ashdown Klystron 1000 Amp or just pick up another Ashdown Cab and stick with the Hartke. I have also just recently picked up a Hartke 3500 so now I have a spare!

I am not into Drugs! I do drink but I am not a drunk. I am 38 years old married to my high school sweetheart with two children; a 14 year old girl and 5 year old boy I named after Rush "Neil Alexander Lee". I am very rational and level headed person with a good since of humor (even if the joke is on me). I am a small business owner and an advanced web application developer that is very lucky to be a work from home Dad.
