About Me

I've been playing bass since 1964 (standup bass in the school orchestra). First band in 1968..... many other bands since, usually Rock 'n Roll, but also several avante-garde ...experimental bands along the way. I'm currently working on several solo bass projects, and collaborating with Jerry Ford (BENT) on several others.I've been involved with experimental video since 1979, getting my BFA in Video Art/Film in 1983. I've continued to document the local art and music scene while pursuing my own projects over the last 24 years, and have amassed a large collection of unique video of obscure local bands. I'll begin uploading clips to this site and Utube over the next few years as I begin to digitize the original VHS footage. Stay tuned.
