So what IS an Uglybass anyway???


Well, Uglybass is the name I call my bass guitar- that's right, bass as in bass note, not fish. Uglybass is a 1978 Fender Jazz bass. The color is antigua, which, as nearly as I can figure, is no sort of color name in existence. The color is a sort of dull yellow that becomes a rather moldy green color as it hits the outside edges of the body of the bass. The only place I've ever encountered this color is on kitchen appliances from the 60's. Carol Brady would be proud to own a refrigerator the color of this bass.

The name Uglybass has since become my computer nickname, though I don't use it as much these days. I figure it still deserves an explanation since it's my email address and all.

That's me on the left, behind the bass. I don't play as I used to, because a really weird thing happened when I hit my thirties- all of the sudden it wasn't as much fun to be out in a smokey bar full of drunks at 3 in the morning listening to and playing in bands that emit a decibel level a few logarithms higher than what the human ear is designed to handle. I never thought it would happen to me, until it did. Funny how that works... ;)

So what do I do now that I've freed up 50 hours a week in my schedule by quitting the band? Why, I hang out on the computer of course! I think I would be considered pathetic if I weren't having so much fun. ;) Then again, maybe it has taken its toll- in my spare time, I've written My Paranoid Rant about Evil Sunflowers. A word of warning, though- if you read this, you'll never think about sunflowers in quite the same way again...
