About Me

I've been in a bunch of bands. Most of my experience and success has been playing the bass guitar. I started with John Felices' CHILDRENS ROCK AND ROLL BAND and THE KIDS in the early 70's. I moved on to THE BOIZE in the mid 70'S, and DMZ and LYRES in the late 70's. While I do enjoy the bass,(I still do this for the LYRES and THE BOIZE) I get so much more pleasure out of singing, songwriting, and playing my keyboards and six string guitars. THE LAST ONES is my favorite band because I get to do all that stuff and more.
