My association with the band is entirely influenced by
my father. My father played first violin with the finest symphony orchestras
Saturday afternoon radio had to offer and he impressed me with one fact....that
it is not what you play, where you play or how well you play ...the important
thing is... who you play with.

Then there is the Nihilist Spasm Band....
I see my participation in the NSB as my small contribution to entropy.
My small payment to the cosmos for the many wonders it has revealed
to me.
Over the years I have built many noise instruments.
Some looked and handled like traditional musical instruments [violin/guitar].
All of them are called a Pratt-a-various.
None of them are meant to be played like or sound like what they look
like.
My current interests include siege engines...a trebuchet to be exact.
I have one working model and I am at present working on a large personal
model.
In the future I plan a much larger one suitable for laying siege to
large buildings.
Buildings such as the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.
It is important to be ready with a clear and unequivocal response when
time comes.
And the time is coming ...things are always worse than they appear.
Nobody gets out of here alive.
