I'm into music, God's plan for living, keeping fit, hunting and building relationships with new friends....
I think most everyone knows of me through my music. I began playing drums at the age of 5 studying with Myron Collins author of many books on rudimental technique & drum corp. studies. After 3 years with Myron, Dick Lopez the Drummer with the Mickie Finn Show offered to start teaching me and though I did not realize it at that time , Dick would become one of my best friends,mentor and the person most responsible for moving my career where it is today. Growing up I was exposed to many different styles of music from dixieland (my father was a horn player in the Mickie Finn Show) to Rock & Fusion Jazz. I was around show business at a very early age and decided to pursue music as my career. My family moved to Las Vegas where I studied with Don Williams. Don's background was Drummer and Percussionist for many big names in Vegas and performed on many movie sound tracks such as Jaws,E.T.,Star Wars to name a few.Don's brother is the wonderful composer John Williams who scored the music for the above movies. I turned professional at 17 years of age performing in Las Vegas with small R&B bands then moving on to production shows at major hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada. I have had the pleasure of playing with or performing for artists such as: Ann Margret, Donny & Marie Osmond,Bill Chase,Norm Crosby, Jerry Lewis, Follies Bergere' Production Show Tropicana Hotel, Hello Hollywood Production Show MGM , Joe Castro Orchestra, Shecky Greene,The Mickie Finn Show,Rip Taylor,Lance Burton,Mosiac,The Walkers,The Mike Douglas Show,The John Davidson Show,Scotty Plummer,Liberace,Jerry Lewis Telethon House Orchestra, Jerry Lopez & Santa Fe',John Shipley,Kiko Cibrian,Paul Schaffer,Frankie Scinta, Nelson Kole,Carl Hosbond, & Johnny Carson Show to name a few....Thanks for visiting !!Tim********************************************
