One of my favorite ways to express myself is live on stage, to feel that energy transfer from myself to the audience & feel it boomerang right back is an experience that I chase continually.
Punk Rock Sinatra
I've played in a few bands over the years. But, this one has been my favorite by far. We've had the most streams & the best tours with this 2 piece arrangement. Constraining myself to the limitations of playing guitar & bass at the same time have been a wonderful discipline maximizing creativity.
What my son taught me
When my son got interested in acting, I tried to provide moral support by auditioning alongside him for Argenta Community Theater's 2019 production of A Christmas Carol. I was surprised that we both got cast & even more surprised to get a leading role! I discovered why I was given that role when I thrived up there on that stage night after night honing the performance & embodying the character. It turns out that all of the hard work I had put into my musical performance over the years translated to an incredible amount of unnoticed acting skill. I was called upon for other roles & asked to audition for other productions which I was cast in. But, then COVID happened & the momentum crashed to a halt. My son lost interest. But, it still lingers in me & I hope satisfy it with many roles to come.
