About Me

One Door Closes..Another Opens! Farewell Famous Curve..
Born in Rochester New York, Been in Denver since the 70's via Ohio and Pennsylvania...Quiet personality..yet very outspoken in what I like and don't! I collect Guitars, Movies, and spend a lot of time focused on Music. Gotta have fun and do what you like, or what is life about? Thirty Plus Years of Guitar Slinging Experience... Played and Toured with a number of Original, and Classic Rock & Blues Bands over the years including Joe Perez and The Keys, Stark Raving, Nasty Habits, The Cave Dogs, and Syzygy spanning New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and finally my ultimate home, Denver. Also Done Numerous Original Studio Projects with among others, The Brainstorm Chronicles and La Machine, featuring Cary Steinberg, Remo Packer, Neil Slade, and Bros Rowland. After a few years off thinking I'd had enough of Rock & Roll, I discovered new life in playing the Blues at many of the Local Denver Blues Clubs, and had the good fortune of playing with some of the local greats including Rich Reno, Michael and Brian Hornbuckle, Johnny Vaughn, Scooter Barnes, the Fabulous Lindsay Brothers (aka the Trouble Brothers), Tony Petrossi, Scott Brown, Dave Major, Steve "Jellyroll" Morton, Terry Gallo, Chris Piele, Wil Lokatys, Sydney Warner, Blind Eddie, and a Host of Other very talented Blues & Rock players. Most recently, a Great Year..Over 100 Gigs with Famous Curve..Ace Rodriguez, Danny Cresap, and Mel Johnson. I wish them all well with the new line-up. I still enjoy the Blues & Rock very much, and continue to sit in with friends occasionally, but my heart belongs in Classic Rock...I will be with another Great Band Soon! I am Truly Blessed!! Get me another Beer..How long till the Next Set??

FAMOUS CURVE LIVE AT ILIFF PARK SALOON--"30 DAYS IN THE HOLE"

My Interests




BEER, GIRLS, ROCKIN' MUSIC, VINTAGE GUITARS, and HARLEYS! Not Nescesarily in that Exact Order.. I play Rhythm and Lead Guitar with Decades of Experience. Also Love to ride my Old Custom Harley Springer Chopper..."No Bitches"..Loud, Black, Stripped, and Chrome Baby!! Classic...Just like My Music, Guitars, and My Marshall Amps! The Girls And Beer I prefer a more recent Vintage ;o))

I'd like to meet:

....YOU at my next Gig!! My Chopper will only hold about 120 pounds of "Rockin' Babe"..;-)))) Also enjoy meeting Musicians of all styles and ages.. I've had the good fortune in my life to meet and see many of my Hero's already...There are so many more I'd like to meet as I continue my Journey through Life. I Was very fortunate to have Met and Hang with, among many others over the years, KISS and their whole crew in the 80's by a Fluke involving Photography that led to numerous backstage invites and after Concert parties ..All Very Cool People..a Fond Memory! I'd love to meet and get to know everyone...We are all so unique and add so much to each others lives as we grow as friends....I am Blessed to have many close friends already who have all supported me in everything I choose to do..You all know who you are...Thanks!
