I am Cappy. I have been on this earth for a time and have found this place, sometime back in July, can't remember when I registered and it doesn't really matter. I have spent most of my time playing drums in smoky bars for drunks who couldn't tell what key you were in and I think every one of them was a musician (and I use that term loosely) at one time or another and they all wanted to sing or sit in and play. It was a gas. Everything from the 50's crap, to blues, jazz and of course the very generalized term Rock n' Roll.........Lou Reed is the "GodFather" of it in my eyes........ my idols were Ginger Baker, Neil Pert, Jon Bonham and Mike Shrieves of Santana........he was 17 when he played with them at Woodstock and he was a percussionist in true form..........I started playing in front of people when I was 8, moved through the classical and pit band world, all to fill my lungs with stale smoke and my liver with poison..........off to the printing world because I had to have something to do during the day. Working in it now for over 20 years and have been in every department. I loved working on the presses, one of my favorite pieces that I printed was a 3 color piece for the Chicago Art Institute with a spot varnish.......it was one of the most demanding pieces of work I had to lay ink down for that I ever had............because of age and the chemicals I moved into the design and sales end.
Just went through a life changing event and thank God I have the ability to utilize my design and computer skills. Thats it in a nutshell.
