MY LIFE
"Been There, Done That" is the best way to describe
me.  Because I'm the oldest one in the band, I've had
a lot of time to do stuff and get in trouble.
 
I've had shoot outs and wrestling matches with bad
guys, protected a couple of VIPs and regular folk, put
out fires, trained K9's, cooked/catered, done cowboy
stuff (Like rounding up a bull in rush hour traffic)
and played/lived country music.(yup! that gives me the
right to defend it too!)  

Now i teach and work in the parks, spend alot of time
outdoors and do some of the more spiritual/healing
things in life.  

I've had and still have a lot of titles and
adventures.  But the one I enjoy the most is Just
Plain JunyAH.  Just a regular guy living life the way
it should be "Kolohe" and "Pono".

MY MUSIC
I always had music around me...all types Classical,
Bluegrass, Blues, Country, Cajun, Jazz, Hard Rock,
