Hey Marco!Hey, Alex, good to see you again, dude! Where ya been hiding?
Marco.
I'm becoming very active at the live music scene. Been playing live gigs like crazy, enjoying it more than I could've ever imagined. I'm fortunate to have hooked up with some fine young musicians, and we're playing up a storm!

I play guitar. I'm very fortunate that my band consists of kick-ass schooled musicians, so we can play all kinds of eclectic repertoire -- from Creedence Clearwater Revival (two and a half chords), to Thelonius Monk and beyond (approximately 126 chords per tune, give or take a few dozen chords). Plus, we have two great looking female vocalists with incredible pipes -- these girls can blow! Moreover, they're also fabulous dancers, so it's one of the most entertaining acts on the contemporary scene.
