“The Kosmic Journey”

Today I took some Imitation drugs that made me run through the Forest. All the way to the Far East... "Rage On" I shouted, trying to drive my Headache away.  I was out of control and asked the man to Tie Me Down because I was Falling Faster with the RainSmackdown I hit the ground as I looked up and saw my Emotions Running for the Next Guy Like You.  "Only Me", I said.  I am the only one who will let my Memories Fade.  I awoke from this dream only to see the television on an EBS announcement.  The buzzing was trying to Take A Chance on my nerves.  Just then I looked out the window and saw 9 stars. I went outside and made a very Frank wish on the biggest Star I could see. That I would always love what I do and always do what I love.  I turned to go back inside and tripped on the door Matt.  Like an Inspector I looked at the ground to see if I had tripped on something, it was only my ego in the way.

Comments: ...music is the best

Jeff grew up in the Sacramento area and started to play the drums at age eight after  "jamming" for hours to Led Zep's "Black Dog" on his cousin's set ...that would result in his first piece of "gear", a snare drum.  Jeff hasn't looked back.  He has played in bands and done session work all around Northern Cal and brings his skills to Judge Unger with an aggressive edge and look to the future.
