Born in Memphis on the Ides of March, raised in upper Northwest Tennessee, claim Paris and Camden as home. College days spent in Nashville and Murfreesboro, with extended stays in Knoxville and Maryville. Back in Memphis since 1988, used to love it, now I hate it. Will be relocating back in or around Knoxville at some point eventually and likely for good. I’m a lifelong music junkie, the Hoodoo Gurus, The Replacements, and dig being the top three among thousands of others. I worship at the House of Westerberg, and I ran an American sister site for Australian band The Monarchs, Brad Shepherd of the Hoodoo Gurus’ later band, until they disbanded (actually it’s still up, see the My Old Music Pages section in the Sidebar). Now I manage the official MySpace profiles for The Monarchs and the Fun Things and Super K (two pre-Gurus Shepherd projects), and am working on getting new standalone official websites for The Monarchs and Fun Things up and running. I used to run a BBS in Memphis too and have been online, like, FOREVER (mid-’80s, that’s how forever). I do web stuff and software and infosys stuff in music and healthcare and otherwise and just generally have too many jobs going at once and entirely too much on my plate, and also admin a very large website but that’s classified info (no, it’s not illegal).
