Hi! I'm Beaner!

---

Music has always been a huge part of my life.  I'd like to stick to the story that I got my start on the drums, but it seems that the guitar, piano, and vocals have been in the picture for just as long!  Every time I try to pick a favorite, one of the others seems to call out and get jealous!  The truth is, I just love to play!

I've been very fortunate to share the stage with a lot of talent throughout the years.  All have influenced me in their own way, and all have had a part in making me a better musician and a better person.  Thank you all for that!  You all know who you are!

I've fiddled with this one man thing for years.  It's a lot of work!  I don't have anyone next to me to look at funny when I make a mistake!  Hours spent in the studio only seem to lead to more hours needed!  Every note of every instrument...every vocal track...every hit of every drum...it's all analyzed and mixed...one note at a time until it's ready.  Just when I think it's perfect, I seem to find something else that needs to be adjusted!  So, back to the studio I go!

When you see "Beaner's in town", stop in and check out my show!  I look forward to seeing each and every one of you!  Thank you for supporting live music, and thank you for letting me play for you!
