What Instrument Do You Play: Guitar, Voice, Other

About Me: Second wave old-timer (1983-1986ish) from the Broad Ripple punk scene, plus I hung out in Bloomington some in the same years. Moved to Chicago in the fall of 1985 and got into weird(er), noisy(er) music. Then in 1996 I moved to Seattle, where there's a mini-tribe of Hoosier escapees holding out in the green, soggy wilds.

"The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." -- Abraham Lincoln
