ABOUT ME

As for Cricket:
I'm a local native.. a curley-headed... foot-tapin'... day-dreamin ... doodler We have all been dealt the same hand, a brief life, I am passionate about learning how it is lived.
And, I can't spell
You should know that ahead of time. And I type those little dots (...) way too much. I just can't help myself.
Oh, and something else I should warn you about. I am obsessed with photography. I have to talk myself into leaving the camera at home at least one night a week. I have been known to take it to bars and share drinks with it. But it is a lightweight so I have to finish most of its beer.

And Jeff:
A NJ moutnain boy who found his way to a cabin in Roanoke, VA. I'm a hand drummer. I've been playing in bands for years and have worked with some really talented people. I'm currently in a couple projects Bebop Hoedown and the Va folk jazz trio. I'm currently looking for other musical projects as well. My drum "kit" consists of a cajon, congo, bongo, dumbek, cymbals, kabasa, and blocks all mounted on a single stand. It looks like a mad science project and has been a long evolution in the making.
