"Hey, I like your sound, it's pretty kick-ass! You definitely sound like someone I could jam with. However, at the moment I'm building my own house, so not a minute to spare as far as any serious kinda musical commitments for awhile."

"Trying to get listeners, find inspiration, find people who want to join Durks Crane, write good music, make connections. I also envision making new instruments eventually similiar to Primus but perhaps on more of a futuristic level..."

Here's a quick overview about what I play and who with...
A self-made freak, I've been making my own guitars and ripping open the sound barrier with some hard-core rock and blues licks for nearly 30 years. Although not a professional musician, I've sat in with many a band to add spice to whatever they were serving up, from heavy metal to blues to, well, edging close to country. A few years back I had the incredible good fortune to work with Ty and Tell Dietzler, two of Montana's finest musicians, writing and playing our original music. Currently I'm getting my musical "fix" in jam sessions with several different local artists, as well as going out for occasional open-mic nights in the area.

Hey, Sheamus was in the Air Force. He went and learned to fly helicopters!! :) But the original 3, Ben, Sheamus and Nathan, have gotten together for a few "reunion" gigs. They played friday at the Claim Jumper and are again either next friday or June 5th/6th weekend. I'll try and post it before!

Those pictures are badass. The inlay work on that guitar is really nice. Inlay in brass sounds a lot trickier than mother of pearl. The headstock on that fiddle is pretty psychedelic. All of the small inlay is pretty impressive. Great job. I bet there are very few people who could pull this stuff off.

Making your own guitars? You should post some pictures of them on here. I know I'd like to see some.

Ladies and gentlemen... The shredding-est, axe handler to ever pick up a scrap of wood with strings attached. The one, the only...!

Love you man, can't wait till me and Em can come back and see you guys.
