About Me

When was 10 years old I use to get together with some of my friends and put on shows in front of the kids in the neighborhood, pretending to be the Beatles, lip singing and playing their songs off the records. Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, (Black) Rockin Rollers & Bluesmen, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles is what I listened to. Later, Jimi Hendrix, Traffic, The Doors, Cream, Steppenwolf, The Who, Grateful Dead, etc.. When I entered Jr. High school I met up with other musicans and started playing Rock & Roll for real. We played at Coffee Houses, CYO's, Dances, Battle of the Bands, and Parties. Later in Bars, Colleges, and Clubs. I have always approach music with my own true feel, never copying others. Some of the bands I played in were Doomsday Dream, Pink Fire, Attic, The Wizards, Sailin Shoes, The Mystery Cats, Lonely Fire, and Midnight Rain. Today I'm enjoying Life, Staying Positive, spend time with Family & Friends and always ready to JAM !!!!!
