About Me

I've been a drummer for fifty years and have enjoyed every minute of it. During that time frame I have collected many records(old form of music)CD's and tapes. I enjoy all types of music including Old Rock, Country, Jazz, Blues and the standards from the thirties and forties. I've followed drummers like Krupa and Rich to Charlie Watts and Ringo Starr.I'm now working on todays top drummers like Terry Lynn Carrington, Shelia E,Steve Gadd, and Dace Weckl. I've got a puppy that is the greatest friend any one could have. His name is Butchie-Boy and he can drive you up a wall. He is vey active and yet he can brake your heart with a simple look. Married and one daughter. Wouldn't trade either one of them for love or money.

I made this layout with help from pYzam , Look at these other Layouts!

My Interests

Local Lions Club,Drummer Cafe,Music of all types, working around the house, and playing my new drums. I also have a great collection of cymbals. Zildjians, Sabians and Paiste. Some are as old as I am and worth a good buck.Along with my new Tama Drum Kit, I have a 1975 Ludwig Kit I bought new and it's still in fine shape.Tough getting parts for it without paying a mint for them.

I'd like to meet:

Neil Peart, Ringo and Billy Cobham. Each one has a style all their own. Different as night and day, yet very interesting and exciting.

Music:

I'm really into all types and picking up new things all the time.I can listen to jazz and Blues all day and half the night. I'm not to pleased with what they call Rock today. Guess I'm showing my age with that remark.

Movies:

I haven't been there in years. Don't have the time.

Television:

Here is where my movies come in, I enjoy the old John Wayne war flicks and some of the new ones out. Full Metal Jacket was good and I've seen it many times.

Books:

I'm not much for reading unless it has a Drum on the cover.

Heroes:

Any one who is willing to take on the World of Music and has the strength to forge ahead and not take a step backwards.
