an account of the series of events making up a person's life

this is where I run around and scrape up bits of used-up bio stuff. i'm pretty sure writing bios is causing artists to frown everywhere. boo.

not that i don't like to talk. or that i don't want to talk about myself. i do that stuff plenty. i don't know... i guess it's just weird when you spend all this time updating and writing about what represents YOU at that particular time, that year, that season, that day.

here's something that i wrote once that i didn't hate:

no, never mind... i guess i hate it. i'm going to write something new.

my name is nathan moomaw and now i live in san francisco and i play music there alone and sometime with other people which is great and the reason i play music is because my father plays beautiful folk music and did so when i was young and that was when i was growing up in the woods of western massachussetts near an apple orchard and some other farms and stuff and after that i moved to boston for a number of years and then to new york for a number more and now i'm here trying to have fun and play music and art that makes me and hopefully other people happy.
