The 'B' stands for Studio Bug

This is the place where you get to peek inside my world and see what makes me tick - kinda where I am when I'm not doing music. I'm domesticated to the heart! A straight home body! Church, home, the grocery store, the studio or the stage. My wife and my girls...although Lori will tell you that I'm never home! (not true!)

I really don't have a favorite book, per se - I have really enjoyed most John Steinbeck, all Frank Peretti and most recently Dr. Claude Anderson. I am certainly more Non Fiction than Otherwise and because I was turned on to the study of The Word and through extended studies at Moody Bible Institute, I dig flipping through theological books and commentaries, just to stay on point. I'm definitely a sucker for a good documenatry or biography - it matters not the subject matter - I just like to observe what happened! Here's a rather morbid secret that I recently found that I shared in common with my daughter Tejai - we are, oddly enough, intrigued by Obituaries...it's interesting to see how people lived, what they accomplished or didn't. I want mine to say that I fulfilled God's purpose for my life - that once I trusted Him with my life that I didn't waste His time.

I can't nail down a favorite artist either. I listen to so many people and styles - the good stuff - that I can't really say I prefer one over the other. I can tell you that I don't like PLASTIC, I mostly listen to talk radio when I'm in the car, rather than to hear some warmed over beat with lyrics that have absolutely NOTHING to say and I don't mean to be critical - I'm just in to thought provoking artistry.

To that end, if you were to open up my head to hear what I'm listening to, you'd probably feel - StevieWonderPrincePFunkHerbieHancockPatMethenyEarthwind&FireMichaelBreckerMarcusMillerGeorgeDukeJeanLucPontyGeorgeBenson-RoyHargroveBobJamesConFunkShunChickCoreaKirkWhalumFoleyTuck&PattiGapBandCandyDulferRickyDillardChakaKhanJoeSample-FredHammondDukeEllingtonSlyJeffLorberGrahamCentralStationJohnPatitucciFlim&TheBB'sJimmySmithDavidSanbornAndreasVollenweider-BobbyMcFerrinMotownSounDoctrineTeddyPendergrassDaveGrusinCassandraWilson - see?

My goal is to keep this page current with more pics and other stuff I think you might be interested in knowing about me or stuff I find interesting. Perhaps I'll throw things on here just to see if you're paying attention! But mostly pics of friends and fam, because when it all comes down to it, it's your family and friends that matter most.
