Location	Sacramento, CA, United States
Introduction	I used to play in Sacramento band The Secretions and The Phlegmings, since then entertaining as Ranting Manor and solo as a children's entertainer. Years ago I was exposed to accordions at Luna's years ago when I saw Mark Growden there. I really caught the bug when I found HohnerMadJock from Scotland on Youtube looking for a version of a Scottish tune. Many performers inspire including Duckmandu, Skyler Fell, Dylan Blackthorn, Luz Gaxiola, Sansa Asylum, Yeti, Renee De La Prade and more! My favorite accordion is a Sonola 80 bass (model type unknown)with a 17" keyboard that happens to have a decent musette, is black and silver and gold. She's pretty. I got it online from a pawn shop and it had been dropped at one point. When we opened it up it had confetti in it. I also play banjo guitar, bass, uke, drums, and anything else that seems good at the time. You can find some of my videos at my youtube site. Oh, I make cool art too. I could make some for you!

Oh and I'm writing one right now, it might become a graphic novel. It's about a vampire girl born into a bloodline of vampires who is forced to take on the care of a half-dead cat sister in familiar form. Except actually, the cat is supposed to be her guardian! Various misadventures occur, especially because she is almost immortal. Almost.

The love potion you made tastes terrible. How will you drink it?
