Bleedin' Fingers Waggs

I've been working really hard on the piano lately trying to learn to play. I can't read music worth crap but i've got a pretty good ear. I've been listening to a lot of Ben Folds because its stuff I can pick out the parts for, and its surprisingly basic.

When I was in ZAMAR I would never have a chance to practice bass except for the back to back 5+ hr practices we would have before shows. This earned me the nickname "Bleedin Fingers Waggs".

One of the Ben Folds songs i've been playing (Army) has some slides down the piano and i got some pretty bad blisters on my fingers that i'm pretty proud of. I like my bleeding fingers. So deal with it. If you'd like me to serenede you sometime, call me.

I'm hoping to have some news soon so i'll probably post a "life update" blog soon. Until then....

thanks for being my friend,
david

About Me

My photo
I grew up in the country with my nearest neighbor being almost a mile away. I was also the youngest in the family and the only boy. Growing up, I didn't have a lot of "playmates" so I found ways of entertaining myself. I could go outside on a nice fall Saturday (or frigid Iowa winter) and not come in until dark. My childhood is what cultivated my active imagination, or "specialness" as my mom always called it.
