- About Me
- I've been the proud father of a son, Donald, for almost 30 years. Lived in Indianapolis most of my life. Worked in Special Education while pursuing music in my off hours. Ended up putting out a single and an album under my own name, and two albums as founder and front man for The Future. Years later, I put together a one-off band, The Beatles Jr., to open for King Missile at the Vogue. Did radio part-time for several years, appearing on The Bob and Tom Show and later, hosting the Sunday Night Live radio show (my understanding is that I was the first openly gay broadcaster in Indiana). While doing movie reviews on Bob and Tom, I starting contributing to NUVO Newsweekly. In 1996 I became senior movie reviewer for the paper and have been there every since.
- What bands are you or have you been in?
- After working solo and issuing one album, "Potential Collectors Item," I put together an act known as Eddie and the Otters (featuring the Ottettes). That din't last long. Then I founded The Future, which found a fair measure of success in the region. We put out two albums, "Whose Movie Is This Anyway?" and "Summer of '82." Years later, I formed the satiric group The Beatles Jr. Our premiere and farewell performance was opening for King Missile at The Vogue.

This reminds me of what John and Glenn Hicks set up in the studio for their contribution to Velo-Deluxe. Except this times about three.
That's rad, but I don't think that guitar's gonna cut it.
ever consider having a compressor as the last pedal? I find it can nicely pasteurize the sound before hitting the amp, not always needed but can be nice for solos especially cleaner solos without much distortion.
I have that and that and...don't have that, have that, don't have that have that that that don't have that or that.....
The Electric Mistress died and I haven't replaced it. A little outside of what I typically do these days (guitar playing as opposed to noisemaking - not offense to noisemaking!). Bill, how do you use the EQ pedal? I know Dale Lawrence uses one, I ...
