I'm interested in what my kids are always doing. For myself, music is my passion, health, history, the arts and entertainment area, some sports, our beautiful earth and keeping it beautiful. I love water. I'm drawn to the ocean.
MY BIOLOGICAL FAMILY! ALL HELP IS WELCOME. MOM WOULD BE 67 AND I WAS BORN AT THE CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL DOWNTOWN L.A. ON FEB.9, 1961! SHE'S CATHOLIC, IRISH, ENGLISH, ETC. MY FATHER WAS AN ASPIRING ACTOR, MAYBE 68 NOW. SCOTTISH ANCESTRY.
The Chipmunks, Beatles, Cream, Christmas songs, The Partridge Family, John Denver, Elton John, Creedence Clearwater. I had a drum set and took Jazz drum lessons when I was 10 years old. I grew up listening to my fathers music, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Liza Minnelli, etc. At age 14 I started playing acoustic guitar. My teacher was a Catholic music teacher into folk music and oldies. By Jr. high I was listening to some Kiss, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, U.F.O., Rod Stewart, Chicago, Eagles, Doobie Bros, Frampton, Cher and everything on the radio, even Motown. My first concert was Led Zeppelin with Jon Bonham. They ruled the 70's. Then one day a someone turned me onto the progressive rock genre - Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Rush, King Crimson, Kansas, Asia. Yes has been my fav. band since 1978. I learned to play electric guitar. At the same time Van Halen and Quiet Riot ruled the L.A. scene. That was huge. Eddie and Randy were my inspirations. The L.A. rock scene exploded and I was right in the middle of it. Motley Crue, Ratt, Great White, Dokken, Odin. I love any song with a great vocal- Journey, Heart, The Babys, Neil Young, Styx, REO Speedwagon, James Taylor, Foreigner. I love any song with some crankin guitar, like in the rock or metal genre - Van Halen, Def Leppard, Dio, Dokken, Metallica, Triumph, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Ted Nugent, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Savatage, Queensriche, Slaughter, Cinderella, Alcatraz, Tesla, Bon Jovi. In a lighter genre - James Blunt, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilara, Shaniya Twain, and 100's more of everything. Barbra Streisand is my all time favorite singer.
