My early days of playing saw me buskin with Ross Notaro in front of the neighborhood beer store or in any north Toronto park. At Ross' invitation I joined Patchwork Self. Not satisfied with the band's direction, I seeked out something different. A couple of months went by and I found myself in a newly formed band, Comatoast. Holding up the backbones of this sixty's phycadellic rock out fit was Mike Collinson. I was to stay and watch this band go through many phases over its nine year existence. One of the phases was "The Quickening", which saw Ross enter for a short stint. Only having played one live gig, (under the name "Comatoast) The Quickening's days were not long, but very fun and ground breaking. After seven more years of Comatoast and four years in the doldrums, I once again found myself playing in a band with Ross and Mike. From 2001 we played under a number of different names with different people. However, Mike, Ross, and myself weathered the storm up to now. This moment in time sees us together with Dave and Katie steering this band called Two Stone Throw!
