A glance at who this musician is playing with

Unstrung heroes and those who care to listen...

<b>Life, philosophy, music, and saving the lost.</b>

Having traveled a lot, and with no real home to return to, I've spent lots of time broke and alone.

Growing up watching MacGyver gave me a sort of personal insight to the world which I've held on to - that any obstacle can be overcome, no matter how few the resources and petty the tools. So that's what I do.

Every instrument I have, I have either acquired for free or rescued from dumpsters or pawn shops. With the few tools I have, they become something new and interesting. With fewer strings, or altered tunings, these mostly 'found' instruments take on new and inspiring qualities.

With the little talent I have, these practically useless items create music. MacGyver would have been proud.

A friend once looked at my instruments and computers, as my electronics follow the same suit - overused, discarded, and rescued by myself. He simply said one word: redemption.

It's quite a powerful word.

In a way we're always trying to make up for the past, attempting to take things from their pallid state and restore them to a position of dignity.

I can't fix my past, but god help me, I will fix everything else I can, and make them beautiful again.

Just watch me.
