The primary function I serve in the band is as:
Guitar player and vocalist
I can also fumble my way through playing:
The trombone
I started playing music when I was:
10 – trombone, 13 – guitar
I started playing music because:
“Q” made me

Music is a fun hobby. But in real life:
I work for Siemens Building Technologies as a Mechanical Service Account Engineer
Outside of performing with the band, I have a life. In my personal life:
I am a “honey do” service technician for my wife and a chauffeur for my 5 kids
When not performing in a band I like to:
… ah … Pray for world peace
My thoughts on Pieces of Eight are:
We should have named the band “free beer”
My favorite band related saying is:
“Give me the bucket!”
My favorite memory of being in the band over the years is:
Probably in Daytona Beach, with a number of people in the room, Sosic sitting on the bed, butt naked and drunk and he says “hey anyone wanna bullshit”
Oh, I almost forgot, I wanted to add:
We really enjoy watching people “dance”
