Knightvalin

What you'd like to be called: well, my real name is Jim, but , as the song says , ' Everything is possible and nothing is real' so just call me Knight for short...

Age: 50 this past August

Gender: Male, as far as I know...never can tell these days.+

State: Location, Physical, social, or emotional? If its just the locale, well, I'm in Ontario, Canada, so that disqualifies me , I guess...

Music Background: Self - taught semi pro musician for the past 37 years. Been playing in bars since I was 13. Got enough of a taste of the ' big time' circuit to realize I didn't belong there. Never been tempted to take up any other instrument other than drums and assorted percussion. I'll leave the neck wringing in the hands of the experts, god knows there's enough of them....

Favourite Drum Brand: I have what is commonly known as a mongrel kit; that is, I have a piece here and there from most of the major names. Have never owned( or could afford) a new kit from any of them. Work constantly at the kit I have to improve the sonics. I'd say my kit sounds as good as most. Were I able to pick and choose the kit I wanted, It would probably be a set of Craviottos, they are phenomenal drums, but see my previous entries about finances...

Favourite Band: You can't ask a question like that and limit it to one I will say this;If I ever get stranded on that proverbial desert island, I hope I have both CDs from the band October Project with me....

CD: way, way, way too many to put here, and too many genres to like.

Favourite Dish: Oh, if you put a beef or chicken curry on the table, you ain't getting rid of me till its gone...same can be said with someone who knows how to cook a proper stirfry...

Website: Youtube: when you cut through all the cats on treadmills and stupid human fails, you find clips of songs and performers you haven't heard in a lifetime. That alone is worth the price of admission.



What People Don't about me : could fill one of Stephen Kings' novelepics.

What may suprise people is the fact I listen to: Things that I would never have 30 years ago.

and lastly, this post is ridiculously: similar to that show on TV where James Lipton fawns/fellates all over hot thing of the week...

PEACE
