About Me

I started playing Bass guitar when my high school had a talent show, now, we had a bass player and I was the singer, but he backed out so I played bass and sang on the worst rendition of Hotel California I think has ever been performed. I took a pause of 2 years from playing bass until I joined my good friend Joey Jones and Brett Krock in the band Sugarfix, this is where I met Chris Powell, a hired gun who came in to replace our lead guitarist who couldn't make the show due to a volleyball game, yeah I know, volleyball over rock and roll, who can blame her?? Anyways, this started a long and dear friendship with me and Chris and we formed a few other bands in between where we are now, AM Radio with Joey Jones, Alice Grayson and Mimi Alidor was one. We also were in a band called Elastic Waste Band with Mitch Rencher and Timmy Dennis, as well as Spirograph with Pat Smitherman and Timothy Wayne Stanton, hehe. I have also played without Chris in the West Side Players and with Les Hall in the Wes Loper Band. In my day I have opened for Better than Ezra, Taylor Dayne, Billy Pilgrim, Sister Hazel, Creed, yes the Creed, Low Millions and several other lesser known acts. I am not famous, but I have enjoyed some success as a musician.

My Interests

Jim Morrison and Janice Joplin and Alice Grayson
