» SCOTT MILSTEAD

Hello there. If you’re reading this, it must mean you want to know something about me and/or my life. Well, which is it? What would you like to know?? Let’s see…I was born and raised in Radnor, PA (about 15 miles west of Philadelphia). I have one Mom and one Dad, both of whom still reside in Radnor. I also have 2 sisters, Lesley and Jill. Lesley is 32 yrs old; she works as a Vet(erinarian) Tech(nician) and does volunteer work for Freedom For Animals (FFA); she loves animals and is very passionate about their fair treatment; she is consequently a vegan (can you say “tofurkey?”); she hates the San Francisco weather (except during September and October) but loves earthquakes; she also loves her 2 cats, Elliot and Derby, and her psycho-man-eating dog, Lucy. Jill is 36; she is an independent film maker, also living in California (Oakland actually); for her day job, she works at Pinnacle Systems as an analyst; in her spare time, she works (ie. seeks funding, conducts interviews, etc.) on her own independent film “Hollywood Horses” (apparently my great-grandfather was Fat Jones, a renown Hollywood horse trainer during the 30’s and 40’s – who knew??); in May of last year, Jill married Jack, a music lover, computer guru and recent apendectomy survivor. Jack & Jill live with their 2 dogs, Belinda and Daisy. Jill is ¾ vegetarian and loves to be in school.

What else can I tell you? Let’s see…I practice drums whenever time will allow. I still play soccer. I started when I was 5 and played all thru middle school, high school and college. Needless to say, I miss most of the games. When I’m in town, I take piano lessons and teach drum lessons. I’m a horrible cook, but can manage an edible Boboli. I like to read but don’t do it nearly enough. I’m very interested in astronomy and plan to pursue that soon; so far I have located the sun and the moon. I love the beach AND the mountains, even though I’m very afraid of sharks and avalanches. I love to frolic in the ocean spray as the sun charrs my pale body. I love to ski. I love to snowboard too, though I'm not very good at it. I love movies. Favorite books include “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” and “Are You My Mother?” I love “Law and Order” and “The X-Files,” though I lost interest after Mulder left. "American Justice" on A&E makes me feel safe, and “Whose Line is it Anyway” is hilarious. CNN Headline News anchorwoman Rudi Bakhtiar makes my heart flutter. I live in the upstairs of the band house with Buford. We're re-painting soon. E-mail me if you'd like to help.

Well, thanks for reading this far. You must REALLY be curious about me. Are you a stalker?? I could go on for pages. Actually, that's not true - that's all there is. Thanks for reading. And more importantly, thanks for listening.

Some of my favorite bands/musicians include:

Billy Martin, MMW, Jon Fishman, Carter Beauford, Mickey Hart (w/Planet Drum), Jim Keltner, Bill Frisell, Steve Gadd, Matt Chamberlain, Fiona Apple, Robert Jospe, Stanton Moore, Galactic, Vinnie Colaiuta, Sting, “Philly Joe” Jones, Ben Perowsky, Mike Stern, Johnny Vidacovich, Travis Barker, Blink-182, Jeff Hamilton, Billy Conway, Morphine, Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson, The Roots, Horacio Hernandez, Tim "Herb" Alexander, Primus, Gregg Bissonette, Dave Dicenso, Flaming Lips, Steven Drozd, John Prine, Wilco, Yo La Tengo, Calexico, David Gray, Beck...
