About Me

I Studied music at UCLA, while I was playing in bands at night. I have always loved singing, because I had a natural voice I inherited from my grandfather, and really fell in love with music when I first saw "The Jazz Singer" with Larry Parks playing Al Jolson, when I was about 7 years old.I played in many bands, and played early on with Dan Navarro, who went on to be successful with the group, Lowen and Navarro. I remember hearing a rough version of "We Belong" in his car out in the valley one night. He told me he and Eric had recorded the vocals in a closet, and then played it for me.After I listened he said"What Do You Think?" I said, "It's a hit. It was recorded shortly after, and went to number 5 on the charts for Pat Benatar. It's a small world... when we were not rehearsing and outside for a break, Dan's cousin who was 8 years old, Dave Navarro.....used to ask me if he could strum my guitar while we were out...I always said yes. Little did we know...He would be Red Hot.I played locally in Los Angeles for years, and have been fortunate enough to have worked and written songs with Michael Monarch the original lead guitarist for Steppenwolf, and Paul Cotton, the lead guitarist,and singer for Poco in the last 10 years.I continue to write with Michael, who has been a big influence on me, in both what I write about, and how I write. He is an amazing musician, in every sense of the word. I am an ASCAP songrwriter and have several songs out on CDs. I am a prolific lyricist, and I believe part of my talent is inherited, as I am a blood relative of Mark Twain. I also spent a number of years in the studio singing background vocals on songs for any number of movies for Columbia Pictures. Other than the music at myspace, the only thing I found interesting is blogging. Player is set to add now, if you would care to.
