Role in band: Guitar
Lives in: Wayland, MA. I'm originally from the Los Angeles area, and also lived in the Atlanta.
Day job: Milkman
First public performance: I was 13 and sat in with my brothers' garage band. We played a house party for high school kids.
After the first set, my oldest brother announced that the band was taking a break, as one of the guitarists had a 10:30 p.m. curfew and needed to be driven home. I didn’t even get a chance to play "Smoke on the Water."
Musical influences:
Delbert McClinton (and all of his sideman)
Bonnie Raitt
The members of Rockpile (together and separately)
Carlos Santana
X
BB King
Charo (aka: María Rosario Pilar Martínez Molina Moquiere de les Esperades Santa Ana Romanguera y de la Najosa Rasten)

Greatest rock and roll band in the world (past or present):
Three way tie: Aerosmith, Rockpile and X.
What does your significant other think of you being in a band? She doesn’t mind, as long as I turn down the volume on my amp.
Favorite movie about rock and roll: It's a tie between "That Thing You Do" and "Detroit Rock City."
Have you ever trashed a hotel room? This one time…on a business trip*…I shaved at a Hampton Inn and I…didn’t rinse out the sink afterwards.
*or it might have been at band camp…I can't remember
Ginger or Mary Ann? The lead singer strongly suggests I recuse myself on this one.
