| Birthplace: Washington (state) Raised in: Dayton, OH Sign: Gemini Adopted: Yes High School: Kettering Fairmont High College: Sinclair (Degree in Music Ed. -Classical Guitar) Post Grad: M.I. (Musicians Institute - Hollywood, CA) Resides in: Los Angeles, CA Company: MohrMusic� (President) My Interests: I'm big-time into animal rights. I Love all animals. Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, you name it! (Don't even kill bugs!) Like to Skydive. Jumped at Air Adventures West in Taft, CA. Did the Accelerated Free Fall (AFF) program. I did 35 jumps (1st eight with instructors) the rest SOLO!!! Musical Influences (Songwriting): My original music doesn't really sound like my influences. Mainly I'd say Zeppelin, Beatles, Queen, E.L.O., Beach Boys, Eagles, Ozzy. Musical Influences (Guitar Playing): Randy Rhoads, Jimmy Page, Van Halen, Hendrix, Satriani, Yngwie. Favorite band of all time would have to be Zeppelin. So many musical styles covered. Robert Plant's voice, plus the whole playing guitar with a bow thing...very cool! Heavily into computers & everything technology related. I love comedy. Whether it's stand up, TV,� or film. I Love South Park... especially Cartman!!! People I Respect: John Lennon for trying to be a "real" person in a industry & world usually full of shit! & the amazing songwriter he was. (See "No More" lyrics) Hugh Marston Hefner for having a vision/dream & living into it. Also the fact that he was very vocal in supporting the rights of many minority groups (blacks, gays, etc.) at a time when it wasn't easy. Finally, the first 3 letters of his name spell "Hug" - a life full of lovin' was inevitable! (See "Mr. Hefner") My Father for raising me, my brother & sister alone after my Mom died when I was 5 (see "Mother" Pt. 1 & 2). For putting me through a drug treatment center when I was in High School. (See "You're My Drug") My Dad was in WW2 & lost both his legs, but he never let that stop or hinder him from doing everything he wanted. Not to get too mushy.... My dad gave both his legs for the freedom you & I enjoy every day. In my book that makes him a true American Hero! |
