My personal web site is dedicated primarily to Portland's local musicians, as well as other great (mostly unsigned) bands -- check out my links page for links to great Portland bands. I may not have links to all of the bands at this time, but I will add them as time and resources allow. If you have links, pictures, etc., of/for local bands, send them to me! You'll find some of my other interests here, as well, like classic Mustangs, hiking, traveling, swing dancing, friends ... Take a look around.
