I've been away forever. My apologies, guys. Though I have been on FB keeping in touch w some of you fine folks 
I was touring the country with Fools For Rowan a couple of years back, things were awesome, paying bills with rock. At first, I was posting a lot, very excited to pass along all the cool things that were happening, until I got really busy and didn't post much, then onto there being so little going on and things taking such a bad turn that I was embarrassed to tell anyone how bad things got.
I moved to Nashville almost 2 yrs ago, at the time the fiance and I split, and just shortly before the FFR vocalist decided she didn't want to vocal anymore and threw all of us under the bus.
I've been having the hardest times of my life for the last year and a half. Working at a BBQ for $7.50/hr (plus free food) and more recently Hobbytown USA (flying RC planes has kept me sane) for just a little more, while trying to keep the music dream alive. 5 bands, 2 music videos, and 1 movie later, I've burned myself out, and have fallen out of love with the struggle to continue playing music professionally. I've decided to leave that passion behind, to enjoy it for myself and no longer pursue it as a living - and instead chase my other life-long passion. Aviation.
SSSOOOOOoooooo... I'm selling the vast majority of my gear in order to eliminate my debt, move to Arlington, TX to live with my brother while I attend Airline Training Professionals 6 month fast-track program.
I'll be posting the ads for the individual items of gear in the appropriate places - classifieds on here, HC, craigslist, ebay, etc. But I wanted to check in with y'all, and offer up first dibs to my friends on here who I've done a horrible job at keeping up with.
Short list of what'll be on the table:
