You know you're really back in Boston when you see it...


Volunteering at Virtually Wired turned into a full-time gig after '95, and after a year 'sitting at the feet' of Director CoraLee Whitcomb I'd eventually manage and run the teaching program at that pioneering public access nonprofit. Based on the success of the Individual Training Program I'd established at VW, I was asked to 'teach' classes in different subjects 'to' the cameras for a BNN Cablevision series on using the Internet. Offers from major Hollywood studios failed to materialize.This photo is from the cover of the Wall Street Journal's Business Employment Monthly publication: I had apparently been accepted as a full-fledged Nerd-boy.


Catherine and I at Virtually Wired, summer of 1997. At the time I was interim Executive Director and she was Operations Manager.


Songwriting again after a few years break, winter of '98 in NYC.

Bass, drums...the guy's a one man rhythm section.


I met Matt Burns back when he played with Inside Outburst, played with him soon after in the Peecocks, and have shared stages on and off for almost a decade.


Matt Burns, terror of all unattached, single, female step-dancers. He nearly ravaged a swooning herd of 'em one nite at the Middle East! M
y pal and Old School Bitch's drummer extraordinaire, Matt has played with acts as diverse as the Varmints and GG Allen. At this time he was running his own Brandeis College radio show, and handling live drum duties for the Kenne Highland Clan!


Though the band we were thinking of starting together never got off the ground, we had a blast jamming with Yasmin.


Who's your buddy?


Summer 1998. At the Middle East with ex-Dumptruck drummer Sean "King" Devlin, then with Helium and Blake Hazard
