Greetings...

 


......I Am Greg Dember *

For me, the reason for posting a personal web page is so that people who know me can check in and see what's going on in my life. Therefore, I feel entirely justified in including any mundane details that I choose.

Home:  After living on Vashon Island (WA) for about ten years, I've recently moved back to Seattle.

Work:   I earn my living as a database developer and consultant for small businesses, working independently.

In the last few years, I've been involved in three musical projects:

Chiefly: we released our first CD, called Planets Of Plenty.  The current performing line up of Chiefly is me on vocals and piano, Thorn Michaels on violin and Sam Geren on Bass, but the CD includes many more musicians, most notably Jeffrey Lorien on bass and guitar and vocals with Noah Dolan on drums, and also Leon Dewan/guitar, Kaia Chessen/cello/vocals, Dan Cunneen/drums, Sarah Perlman/violin, Bill Moyer/drums, Sasja Michael-Brown/vocals, and Aaron Long/trombone.

I was in a rollicking band called Rumpus (it broke up), led by Steffon and Arlette Moody, also with Dodd Johnson, Phil Carter and Al Fergusen.   Although I was not the main songwriter in that band, one song of mine that we recorded is being used in an indie/hollywood film called Outside Sales!

Lavish Cat is indefinitely on hiatus, but we released an excellent self-produced CD called Your Dream in November 2000. The project was (and may yet again be) led by myself and Linda Ceriello. Our CD included musical support from Evan Kimble, Sasha Malinsky, Pat Reardon and Leon Dewan.

Also: I have a bunch of tapes of my friend David Multer's music, David having died in a camping accident in 1995. The tape is called Love Never Ends and it is a re-mastered compilation of songs that he recorded over the years with various bands and on his own. Please contact me if you are interested in obtaining a copy.

You can read my article Real-World Economics, which may be the beginning of something bigger.

* That was what I looked like in about 1996, when I first posted this page. But see I look about the same now, don't I?
