Caleb
plays all keyboards in the band. His influences range from Gregg
Rolie, Leon Russell and Dr. John to Steve Winwood and Reese
Wynans. He plays a Roland A90 keyboard and a Hammond XK2 organ
with the band, but also owns a '73 Fender Rhodes stage piano
and a 50's Hammond M3 organ with Leslie. Unfortunately, nobody
wants to help carry the M3 to gigs so it doesn't get used. This
is not to imply that he never plays with his organ, just that
the band never gets involved. Naturally, one of his favorite
pick up lines is "Hey, baby...I've got a 350lb organ."

Hobbies
Caleb
likes any adventure, especially ones that are life-threatening.
Scuba diving seemed a perfect hobby to pick up, so Caleb
got scuba certified while on vacation in Grand Cayman.
One of his favorite underwater adventures on this trip
was the 110 foot dive along the North Wall of the island.
Although he didn't get permanently narc'd, he's still
enjoying the buzz. Seen to the right, he tries to shove
an underwater camera up a stingray's ass at Stingray City.
On the left, Caleb does his gansta pose in full scuba
gear with his girlfriend and soul-mate, Teshia (seen only
barely through the bubbles).
More
adventures! A bit of parasailing at Panama City Beach
(left), wishing they were real on the beach at Grand Cayman
(middle), and one of the coolest adventures he's ever
had, snowmobiling in Vail, CO (right).
Seen
here in front of the Opera House at Sydney, Austrailia,
this is one of Caleb's favorite vacation spots. However,
he hopes to out-do it sometime in the near future. What's
coming up? Amsterdam, Greece, Germany, New Zealand. Working
in the travel industry has its perks. Speaking of perky....
oh, nevermind.
