Hey there.......takin' a break from meatspace again, I see....

Just out wandering around the web and sorta wound up in th' alley lookin' for something ta

DO???

Well sit back, take a load off, and holler at Grubber to bring ya a plate O ribs, some red beans and rice and an icy Coke.......or whatever... At the BIGG HOWSE you get what ya want......(hey....in cyberspace anything can happen!!!)

My name is Rick Weeth, a.k.a. HAWKE...and, as you may have surmized, I am the guy in the middle up there... and I'm your host...This joint will always be undergoing some sort of change so be sure and drop back in this a-way again soon and check it out...

I am from La Crosse, Wisconsin right on the Mighty Mississippi River, about 1100 miles from where I was born.........New Orleans La. I been knockin around this rock for 35 years, and am into all things performance related. I am at present a soon-to-be-divorced father of the most amazing little man on the planet, BRANDON. He is three years old going on twenty. :)

A recent graduate of Viterbo College, I have a BA in Theatre Arts with a minor in History which means I can act gracious whilst I rend thee to bits at Trivial Pursuit, so be careful! I do some work with non professional theatre, usually composing music or making sounds to go with the play being produced. A good friend of mine, MASON BROWN (Viterbo '97) and I co-wrote music for Aristophanes' THE BIRDS, for which we were given a Meritorious Achievement Award from the KENNEDY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS / American College Theatre Festival in 1996. Mason is the Founding Director of the OPEN AIR PLAYERS here, and has produced Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT in 1996 and put on Molierre's TARTUFFE this past Summer. Again, I co-wrote for Twelfth Night and for Tartuffe, I managed to put together some of the graphic arts just in time for opening night. (whew!) And last but never ever least, I am lucky enough to play in a band with two of the very best friends a man could ever have......

We all sing and you never know what we'll do next cuz for the past 12 years we haven't worried about it!!!!!! But we have fun and so do those who come and hear us!!!!

I am also in a kick ass variety band that is appropriately named OVERBOARD. I play guitar/harmonica and sing in that one.JOHN BARNAS sings and plays drums and is the El Supremo Big Shot Who Handles Bookings (608) 784-6420 in case you're interested. STEVE FREEHILL is the Golden Throated Clown Prince Of Bass who is guaranteed to keep you smilin all night. And if HE doesn't getcha, then there's this funny little Italian man behind the keyboards who will. MARK DAVINI is about as good at keyboard masterey as one man is ever gonna get in one lifetime and we're paid to tell you this, by the way...
