It's all about the people and the music they create. I suppose I'm lucky. Music has always "played" a central role in my life. Influenced by a wide variety of styles (the benefit of many older siblings - yes, I'm the caboose) my childhood was comprised of recorded music, audio gear and gracious parents who did what they could not to prevent, no, but actually encourage my burgeoning drumming skills. Pretty cool. In this "Making Music" section I'll talk about my development as a musician. I'll talk about my fascination with making live music audio recordings. You may be amused with stories of band members or similar situations you might have found yourself in at one time or another, assuming of course you've played an active role in one of these capacities. But even if you just enjoy listening, as I certainly do, surely there will be some samples of actual music files you can download and listen to. And if you ask nicely, I might stop calling you Shirley too.
