About Me

Since the Myspace profile section doesn't allow spaces between paragraphs, my normal bio seemed horribly excessive and narcissistic, in a self-deprecating sort of way (What?) To be concise, I just want to say that I've made my living playing music for 30 years now with a short stint working in a recording studio and an even shorter stint at a Domino's Pizza in Sherman Oaks, (CA). I have played every kind of venue known to man, from two-bit bars with straw on the floor to headlining (with a "radio show" band) in front of 8000 drunks. I've done original gigs at Hard Rock Live and House OF Blues, and then turned around and played weddings, parties and bar mitzvahs (and even played the opening of a 7-11 one time. True story) Many times, it's been a job but I still get a kick out of it. I don't seek fame and I don't care about making it big; I just want to make enough to pay off my house and put my kid through barber college.
